Question

A grocery store sells a bag of 3 oranges for $1.23. If Latanya spent $3.28 on oranges, how many did she buy?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 Oranges

Explanation:

Given information

3 Oranges = $1.23

Total cost = $3.28

Determine the unit price of an orange

Unit price = Cost ÷ Number of Oranges

Unit price = 1.23 ÷ 3

Unit price = $0.41 / orange

Determine the number of oranges bought

Number of orange × Unit price = Total cost

N × (0.41) = (3.28)

Divide 0.41 on both sides

N = 3.28 ÷ 0.41

`\Large\boxed{Number~of~oranges=8}`

Hope this helps!! :)
