Question

A candy store sells only one type of candy, which comes in different colors. Each color is a different flavor, and some flavors cost more than others. Specifically, 1 red piece costs the same as 3 blue pieces, 2 orange pieces cost the same as 5 green pieces, and 2 blue pieces cost the same as 10 green pieces. If 1 orange piece costs 13 cents, how much will 8 red pieces cost?

Answer 1

$6.24

Explanation:

1 orange=%0.13

2 orange=5 green=$0.26

10 green=2 blue= $0.52

.52+.26=.78

1 red=3 blue=$0.78

0.78*8=6.24
