Question

Jeff's teacher has a bag of apples and oranges, where there are 3 times as many oranges as apples. If each student receives 2 apples, there is 1 apple left over. If each student receives 5 oranges, there are 7 oranges left over. How many students and apples are there?

Can someone please help me?

Answer 1

There are 4 students and 9 apples

Step-by-step explanation

each student recieves 5 apples so 5 x 4= 20 20+ 7=27

27 can be divided by 3 and you get 9.

each student recieves 2 apples and there are 4 students. 9-8 =1
