Question

#2 and please provide explaination !

Answer 1

Answer:

Total overripe fruit = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Assume the value of oranges

Let oranges be x

Oranges = x

Apples = 32 + x

Overripe oranges = 3/5 of oranges

                              = 3x/5

Overripe apples = 1/3 of apples

                           = 1/3 (32 + x)

Step 2: Find x (oranges)

Number of overripe apples and number or overripe oranges are equal.

3x/5 = 1/3 (32 + x)

3 (3x) = 5(32 + x)

9x = 160 + 5x

4x = 160

x = 40

Step 3: Find the total number of overripe fruit.

Total overripe fruit = Overripe apples + Overripe oranges

Total overripe fruit = 1/3 (32 + x) + 3x/5

Total overripe fruit = 1/3 (32 + 40) + 3(40)/5

Total overripe fruit = 24 + 24

Total overripe fruit = 48
