Question

On Friday, a fruit stand sold a total of 92 apples and oranges. On Saturday, the fruit stand sold four times the number of apples and two times the number of oranges. A total of 284 apples and oranges were sold on Saturday. Which system of equations yields the number of apples, a, and oranges, o, sold on Friday? A) a + o = 92 4a + 2o = 284 B) a + o = 284 4a + 2o = 92 C) a + o = 92 2a + 4o = 284 D) a + o = 284 2a + 4o = 92

Answer 1

Option A : a+o = 92 , 4a+2o = 284 is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let o be the number of oranges sold on Friday and

a be the number of apples sold on Friday

So,

A total of 92 was sold on Friday will yield the equation

$a+o = 92$

On Saturday,

4 times the number of apples = 4a

2 times the number of oranges = 2o

So,

$4a+2o = 284$

Hence,

The system of equations is:

$a+o = 92\\4a+2o = 284$

Option A : a+o = 92 , 4a+2o = 284 is the right answer
