Question

Find the values of the apple, banana and lollypop below. Pls help

Answer 1

Answer:

a= Apple = 3

b= Banana =5

v= Lollypop=1

Step-by-step explanation:

36 is divided into 2 giving us 18

Let apple=a

Banana=b

Lollypop=c

In the first half

An apple + 3 bananas=18

a+3b=18 (1)

Second half is further divided into 2

That is,

18÷2=9

First half of the second half

3apples=9

3a=9 (2)

Second half of the second half

1 apple + 1 banana + 1 lollypop=9

a+b+c=9 (3)

a+3b=18 (1)

3a=9 (2)

a+b+c=9 (3)

From (2)

3a=9

Divide both sides by 3

a=9/3

a=3

Substitute a=3 into 1

a+3b=18

3+3b=18

3b=18-3

3b=15

Divide both sides by 3

b=15/3

=5

b=5

Substitute the value of a and b into (3)

a+b+c=9

3+5+c=9

8+c=9

c=9-8

c=1

Therefore,

a= Apple = 3

b= Banana =5

v= Lollypop=1
