Answer:

  • apple: $2.25
  • mango: $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" and "m" represent the cost of an apple and a mango, respectively. Then Cameron's purchase can be represented as ...

  4a +7m = 17.75

Gavin's purchase can be represented as ...

  2a +5m = 10.75

Subtracting the first equation from twice the second gives ...

  2(2a +5m) -(4a +7m) = 2(10.75) -(17.75)

  3m = 3.75

  m = 1.25

Then the price of an apple can be found from the second equation:

  2a +5(1.25) = 10.75

  2a = 4.50 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6.25

  a = 2.25 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The price of an apple was $2.25; the price of a mango was $1.25.

PQ // BC 

then

Angle P = Angle B, A is common angle the two triangles are similar

AP/AB  = AQ/AC

8/18 = 12/ AC

AC = 12 * 18/8 = 27 (your ans: D)

AQ + QC = AC

QC = AC - AQ = 27 - 12 = 15 (if it was required) 

tan60 = y/8

y = s tan60 = 8sqrt(3)  (B)

Next time, post each question separately.
