Answer:
- 6 bunches of bananas
- 7 pounds of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.
Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...
6B +8(13 -B) = 92
-2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B
13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples
The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You will note that finding the value of the variable involved arithmetic with negative numbers. If you want the numbers to stay positive, then you can choose the variable to represent <em>the most expensive</em> of the items: the number of pounds of apples.
Answer:
the last one is true

sin R=PQ/PR=TS/TR
Answer:
Therefore $98 is be charged a bus containing 30 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
A state park charges an entrance fee based on the number of people in vehicle.
Let the entry fee for the vehicle be E and entry fee for each person be x.
Then
C= E+(P×x)
C= Total charge in $
E= entry fee for a vehicle
P=No. of person
x= Entry charge per person.
Given A car containing 2 people charged $14
C=$14, P=2
∴14= E+(2× x)
⇒E+2x=14.....(1)
Again A car containing 4 people charged $20
C=$20, P=4
∴20= E+(4× x)
⇒E+4x=20.....(2)
Subtract (1) from (2), we get
E+4x-(E+2x)= 20-14
⇒E+4x-E-2x=6
⇒2x=6
⇒x=3
Putting the value of x in equation (1)
E+(2×3)=14
⇒E=14-6
⇒E=8
Therefore E=$8 and x=$3
Next we check whether our assumption is correct or wrong. Putting the value of E and x for third case
Here P= 8
Therefore C= E+(P×x)
= 8+(8× 3)
=8+24
=$32
Therefore our assumption is correct.
Now C=? , P= 30
The charged for the 30 people is
C= $[8+(30×3)]
=$[8+90]
=$98
Therefore $98 is be charged a bus containing 30 people.
Answer:
Should be B
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would be $25.22 the way to do this would be to divide 7.76 by 4 and then you would multiply that answer by 13 so it would be the 4th answer
