let x represent the number of apples and y represent the number of oranges.
TOTAL: x + y = 112
y = 112 - x
PEELED:
3x = 4y
3x = 4(112 - x)
3x = 448 - 4x
7x = 448
x = 64
y = 112 - x
= 112 - 64
= 48
a) There are 64 apples and 48 oranges
Peeled apples: = 3(8) = 24
Unpeeled apples: 64 - 24 = 40
Unpeeled - Peeled: 40 - 24 - 16
b) there are 16 more unpeeled apples than peeled apples
Equation is 0.1x + 7
For the sake of showing work I will replace the empty space with an x like so...
To find out what x is you must cross multiply (aka butterfly)
***Image of this step is attached below
9*x = 10*90
9x = 900
Next divide 9 to both sides to finish isolating x. Since 9 is being multiplied by x, division (the opposite of multiplication) will cancel 9 out (in this case it will make 9 one) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.
9x ÷ 9 = 900 ÷ 9
1x = 100
x = 100
To make these fractions equivalent the empty spot must be 100
Hope this helped!
