Answer 2

Example given in explanation

Explanation:

Let number of apples that Anita ate be 8

Let number of apples that Sunita ate be 12.5

Suppose Meeta ate apples equal to 9.5 times the sum of apples that Anita and Sunita ate .

To find: Number of apples that Meeta ate.

Solution :

Total number of apples that Anita and Sunita ate = 8 + 12.5

So, 9.5 times the sum of apples that Anita and Sunita ate = 9.5 x (8+12.5)

Here, we uses the expression 9.5 x (8+12.5) .
