Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

If 7 apples cost y cents, how many can you buy for x dollars?

As y cents buy 7 apples, y dollars will buy 7×100 apples.

Hence one dollar will buy 7×100y=700y apples and,

x dollars will buy 700y × x apples or 700x y apples.

Hence 7 apples multiplied by $6.30 divided by $2.10 will get you 21 apples.

Have a beautiful day! v(⌒o⌒)v♪

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation

If 7 apples are 2.10 then for 4.20 its 14 apples. And 3 apples is 90 cents. 1 apple is 0.30. So the amount you can buy is 21 because 6.30/0.3 is 21
