6 question answer is
Explanation:
The problem states that the cost of apples varies directly with the number of pieces. This means that the cost of the apples increases or decreases in proportion to the number of pieces.
To find out how many pieces of apples can be bought with Php 6487, we can use the given information about the cost of 17 pieces of apples.
Let's set up a proportion:
Cost of 17 pieces of apples/ Number of pieces of apples = Cost of Php 6487/ Number of pieces of apples
We know that the cost of 17 pieces of apples is Php 204. Let's substitute these values into the proportion: 204/176487/x
To solve for x (the number of pieces of apples that can be bought with Php 6487), we can cross multiply: 204 x = 17 6487
Simplifying, we get: 204x110079
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 204 to solve for x: x= 110079/204
Calculating this, we find: x = 539.41
Since we can't buy a fraction of a piece, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you can buy approximately 539 pieces of apples with Php 6487.
