The cost of 1 apple is 50 cents and cost of 1 banana is 35 cents and cost of 1 orange is 25 cents

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the cost of 1 apple

Let "b" be the cost of 1 banana

Let "r" be the cost of 1 orange

<em><u>Given that Apple costs the same as 2 oranges</u></em>

cost of 1 apple = 2 (cost of 1 orange)

a = 2r -------- eqn 1

<em><u>Together, an orange and a banana cost 10 cents more than an apple</u></em>

cost of 1 orange + cost of 1 banana = 10 + cost of 1 apple

r + b = 10 + a --------- eqn 2

<em><u>Two oranges cost 15 cents more that a banana</u></em>

cost of 2 orange = 15 + cost of 1 banana

2r = 15 + b ----- eqn 3

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1, eqn 2 and eqn 3</u></em>

From eqn 1 and eqn 3, substitute eqn 1 in eqn 3

a = b + 15 --- eqn 4

<em><u>Substitute eqn 4 in eqn 2</u></em>

r + b = 10 + b + 15

r = 10 + 15

<h3>r = 25</h3>

<em><u>Substitute r = 25 in eqn 3</u></em>

2(25) = 15 + b

50 - 15 = b

<h3>b = 35</h3>

<em><u>Substitute b = 35 in eqn 4</u></em>

a = 35 + 15

<h3>a = 50</h3>

Thus cost of one apple is 50 cents and cost of 1 banana is 35 cents and cost of 1 orange is 25 cents

X+ y = 10
2x = 2y+4

2x/2 = 2/2y+4/2
x = y + 2

x+y = 10
y+2+y=10
2y + 2 = 10
2y +2-2 =10-2
2y = 8
2y/2 =8/2
y = 4

x + y =10
x + 4 =10
x +4-4 =10-4
x = 6

Check
2x = 2y +4
2(6) = 2(4) +4
12 = 8+4
12= 12

8.27 Any quarter has a face value of $0.25. An eccentric collector offers to buy state quarters for 600% of their face value. At
Svetach [21]

Answer:

$7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find what is the value at which the eccentric collector offers to buy the quarters for. We know the value at which they will buy the quarter for is 600% of the face value - which is $0.25.

Now we do some math and find the value at which the person will buy the quarter for is $1.50.

Now we multiply the value by 50 since Larry would be giving 50 quarters.

$1.50*50 = 7.50

So, Larry will receive $7.50 for selling his 50 quarters to the eccentric collector.
