Question

The farmer's market is selling apples today at a price of 6 for $8.40. 1. Emma needs to buy 30 apples to make apple butter. How much will Emma pay for the apples at the farmer's market? Explain your reasoning. 2. Before buying the apples, Emma remembers that she only needs 26 apples for the apple butter. How much will 26 apples cost at the farmer's market? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer: $36.4

Explanation:

One apple cost = 8.40/6=1.4 $ . so for 26 apples she pay= 1.4*26=36.4

Answer 2

1. it should be 42 because if you do 6 times 5, it would be 30. So then you do $8.40 times 5 which gives you $42. 2. $33.60 is 24 apples. Each apple is $1.40 so therefore 2 more apples would be an extra $2.80. The total for 26 apples would be $36.40
