<span>]to find the number of bananas you have to take the total 3.8 and subtract apples 3.8-a</span>
Answer:
1.5 pounds of apples; 2.3 pounds of bananas
Step-by-step explanation:
x=amount of apples bought. (in pounds)
y=amount of bananas boutht (in pounds)
We can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=3.8
1.9x+0.75y=5.84
We can solve this system of euqtions by substitution method.
x+y=3.8 ⇒ y=3.8-x
1.9x+0.75(3.8-x)=5.84
1.9x+2.85-0.75x=5.85
1.15x=5.84-2.85
1.15x=2.99
x=2.99/1.15
x=2.6
y=3.8-x
y=3.8-2.6
y= 1.2
