We can create equations to solve this.
2.50p + 1.50m = 29.50
p + m = 15
Solve for a variable in the 2nd equation and use the substitution method to solve.
p + m = 15
Subtract p to both sides:
m = -p + 15
Plug in -p + 15 for m in the first equation.
2.50p + 1.50(-p + 15) = 29.50
Distribute:
2.50p - 1.50p + 22.50 = 29.50
Combine like terms:
p + 22.50 = 29.50
Subtract 22.50 to both sides:
p = 7
Now plug this into any of the two equations and solve for the other variable.
p + m = 15
7 + m = 15
Subtract 7 to both sides:
m = 8
So he purchased 7 pineapples and 8 mangos.
Both are equal because the distance from AB is equal to RS.
there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so 1/4 of an hour is 60(1/4), namely 15 minutes.
11:20pm + 4 hours, is 11+4:20, namely 15:20, of course the time system only uses up to 12, so that has to be 3:20, and then we add the 15 minutes.
11+4: 20 + 15.........3:35am.
