Answer 1

The cost per apple is $0.50 when 50 apples cost $25. Therefore, 75 apples would cost $37.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we need to calculate the cost of each apple when 50 apples cost $25 and then determine how much 75 apples would cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we divide the total cost by the number of apples to get the price per apple.

$25 ÷ 50 apples = $0.50 per apple

Next, we use the price per apple to calculate the cost for 75 apples.

75 apples × $0.50 per apple = $37.50

So, the correct answer is (b) $0.50 each, $37.50 for 75 apples.
