Question

Sandy bought 4 pears at p cents each and 6 oranges at 3 for $4

Answer 1

Answer:

$p=95.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

Sandy bought 4 pears at p cents each

so,

cost of each pears is p cents

So,

total cost of pears is 4p cents

and

cost of each oranges is 3 cents

total number of oranges is 6

so,

total cost of oranges is

$=6\times 3=18cents$

total money is $4 =400 cents

now, we can find total money is

=4p+18

we can set it equal

and then we can solve for p

$4p+18=400$

$4p=382$

so, we get

$p=95.5$
