Question

A store sells oranges and apples. Oranges cost $1.00 each and apples cost $2.00 each. In the first sale of the day, 15 fruits were sold in total, and the price was $25. How many of each type of frust was sold? show it in a graphhhhhh!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Answer 1

Answer: We can use a system of equations to solve this problem. Let x be the number of oranges sold and y be the number of apples sold. Then we know that:

x + y = 15 (the total number of fruits sold)

1x + 2y = 25 (the total cost of the fruits sold)

We can use the first equation to solve for one variable in terms of the other.

For example, we can solve for x:

x = 15 - y

Now we can substitute this expression into the second equation:

1(15 - y) + 2y = 25

15 - y + 2y = 25

3y = 10

y = 10/3 = 3.333

We can round it to 3 apples sold

So we have 3 apples and 12 oranges sold.

This can be represented in a graph with a point (12,3)

Alternatively, we can solve for y:

y = 15 - x

Now we can substitute this expression into the second equation:

1x + 2(15 - x) = 25

1x + 30 - 2x = 25

-x = -5

x = 5

So we have 5 oranges and 10 apples sold.

This can be represented in a graph with a point (5,10)

Both solutions represent the same values, the number of oranges and apples sold, but represented in a different way.
