Answer 1

Answer:

The price for each kilogram of strawberries is $7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

Blues berry farm charges Percy a total of $24.75 for entrance and 2.5 kilograms of strawberries. The entrance fee is $6 and the price for each kilogram of strawberries is constant

Determine the price for each kilogram of strawberries

Let

x ----> the price for each kilogram of strawberries

we know that

The entrance fee plus the price of each kilogram of strawberries multiplied by the number of kilogram of strawberries must be equal to $24.75

so

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$2.5x+6=24.75$

solve for x

subtract 6 both sides

$2.5x=24.75-6\\2.5x=18.75$

divide by 2.5 both sides

$x=\ 7.50$

therefore

The price for each kilogram of strawberries is $7.50
