Question

Ms. Perkins wanted to make some apple pies for the Fall Harvest. She went to Gauhgers Orchards to pick some Granny Smith apples. For every 5 apples she picked with none stem, she picked 4 apples with two stims. If the total amount of apples picked were 81, then how many apples did she pick with two stems?

Answer 1

To find the number of apples Ms. Perkins picked with two stems, set up a system of equations and solve for the variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of apples Ms. Perkins picked with two stems, we need to set up a system of equations. Let's say she picked x apples with none stem and y apples with two stems. We can set up the following equations:

x + y = 81 (total amount of apples picked)

For every 5 apples she picked with none stem, she picked 4 apples with two stems, so we can write:

x/5 = y/4

From the second equation, we can rewrite it as:

4x = 5y

Now we have a system of equations:

x + y = 81

4x = 5y

We can solve this system of equations by substitution or elimination method.

Once we find the values of x and y, we can determine the number of apples Ms. Perkins picked with two stems.
