Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is easy to find if we use the cross-multiplication method.

We know 7 students out of 10 picked apples, then 3 out of 10 picked bananas.

We know the number of people who picked apples.

\frac{apples}{bananas} = \frac{7}{3} = \frac{84}{x}

We just have to isolate x, this way and solve the problem:

\frac{7}{3} = \frac{84}{x}

becomes

x = \frac{84 * 3}{7} = \frac{252}{7} = 36

So, 36 students picked bananas as their favorite fruit.

rewona [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The total cost C is given by

C = \$60n + \$40

b) If the total cost is $400, then we can solve for the number of hours as

\$400 = \$60n + \$40 \Rightarrow \$360 = \$60n

Solving for n, we get

n = \dfrac{\$360}{\$60} = 6\:\text{hrs}
