Question

natasha bought gala and honeycrisp apples at the grocery store. the honeycrisp apples were 1.50 each if you bought 6. find the cost of each gala apple if the total cost is 16.50 and she bought 6 of each.

Answer 1

The cost of each gala apple is $1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of each gala apple, we can start by finding the total cost of the honeycrisp apples. Since the total cost of the apples is $16.50 and she bought 6 of each, the cost of the honeycrisp apples is $1.50 x 6 = $9.00.

Now, we can subtract the cost of the honeycrisp apples from the total cost to find the cost of the gala apples. $16.50 - $9.00 = $7.50. Since she bought 6 gala apples, the cost of each gala apple is $7.50 ÷ 6 = $1.25.
