Hope this solution helps you
Step-by-step explanation:
x-the initial number of coconuts
x=3y+1
2y=3z+1
2z=3×7+1=>z=11=>y=17=>x=52
To calculate how much 9 apples cost, you must multiply 9 to 4.55 and then divide by 7. This is done by setting up a proportion.
Option D is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Let A represent the cost of one bucket of apple and P represent the cost of one bucket of peaches.
So we have ,
4 buckets of apples and 5 buckets of peaches for $64
8 buckets of apples and 3 buckets of peaches for $72
Writing this in the equation form we have,
4A + 5P = 64
8A + 3P = 72
Step 2:
Solving for the above 2 equations we can get the required costs
Equation 1 is
4A + 5P = 64 , Multiplying this by 2 we have 8A + 10P = 128
Equation 2 = 8A + 3P = 72
Subtracting both we have , 7p = 56 = > P = 8
Substituting this in equation 1 we have
8A + 80 = 128 => A = 6
Hence the cost of one bucket of apple is $6 and the cost of one bucket of apple is $8.
Option D is the correct answer.
