\cos t\text{ of 1 apple = \$38.4}

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find the cost of one apple

18 apples = $5.80

1 apple = x

let's cross multiply:

18apples (x) = 1 apple ($5.80)

x = $5.80/18

x = 0.32

one apple = $0.32

Cost for 120 apples:


\begin{gathered} =\text{ cost of 1 apple}*\text{ 120} \\ =\text{ \$0.32}*120 \\ \cos t\text{ of 1 apple = \$38.4} \end{gathered}
