First, let's find the total cost of all the apples:


8+(0.6\cdot15)=17

Now, we divide this by the total amount of apples bought. In our case, we know that there were 10 Granny Smith apples and 15 Golden Delicious, for a total of 25 apples.


(17)/(25)\rightarrow0.68

Therfore, we can conclude that the average cost per apple was $0.68
