Question

3 kg of potatoes and 2 kg of apples cost a total of £7.33.

4 kg of potatoes cost £3.80.
Work out the cost of 1 kg of apples.

Answer 1

€2.24

Explanation:

Let, the potatoes be x and apples be y

A/c to question,

4x = 3.80

x = 0.95

And,

3x + 2y = 7.33

3*0.95 + 2y = 7.33

2y = 7.33 - 2.85

y = 4.48/2

y = €2.24

Hence, the cost of 1 kg apple (y) = €2.24
