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

If JK answered / of the Math questions correctly, how many points did she get in a 50- item test?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

JK got 30 answers correct on a 50 item test.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Total items on test = T = 50

Fraction of total items that were answered correctly = 3/5

We simply have to multiply the total number of questions by the fraction of correct answers.

So,

The correct answered number of items are:

= \frac{3}{5} * 50\\=30

Hence,

JK got 30 answers correct on a 50 item test.

Answer:

x=15

Converse: If line x and y are parallel then angles on the same line are supplementary angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Converse:</u></em>

Let's start with the converse, so if line x and y are parallel then angles on the same line are supplementary angles. I'm not sure if that's the converse your teacher wants but my teacher taught me this.

<em><u>Finding x:</u></em>

Now we know that the angles are supplementary angles, that means if w add them together we get 180°. So our equation will be 10x-22+3x+7=180. Now we just solve it. We start by combining like terms, then adding the 15 to both sides, and lastly we divide the 13 to both sides and get...

10x-22+3x+7=180\\13x-15=180\\13x=195\\x=15

x=15
