Let
x = number of apples.
y = number of oranges.
we have to write the following equation to represent the problem:
4x + 6y = 15
To satisfy the equation, Jon must have used
x = 2.25
y = 1
Substituting
4 (2.25) +6 (1) = 15
9 + 6 = 15
answer
Jhon used 2.25kg of apple and 1kg of orange to make the salad.
Note: Since the problem does not have any other restrictions, there may be several apple and orange combinations that cost $ 15 per salad.
Consider this option (this is not the only way):
1. according to the condition 2345N is divisible by <em>6</em>, it means, that N is even number (0;2;4;6 or 8).
2. <em>6</em>=3*2, then the number 2345N is divisible by 3 also. It means, that the number (2+3+4+5+N)=(14+N) is divisible by 3, where N={0|2|4|6|8}.
3. using items 1 and 2:
(14+4)=18; only 18 is divided by 3, it means that N=4.
answer: 4.
Note also, that only 23451; 23454 and 23457 are divided by 3. Only 2345<u>4</u> is divided by 6 (2345<u>4</u>/6=3909).
