There was a total of 18 apples

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let us consider the total no. of apples be 'a'.

Patriarca took 1/6 of the apples. So the remaining apples is,

   a - (1/6) a= (5/6) a

Step 1:

His wife takes (1/5) of the rest of the apples. So after she takes the apples the remaining apples will be,

   (5/6) a - (1/5) (5/6) a

   (5/6) a - (1/6) a = (4/6) a

Step 2 :

Her elder son takes (1/4) of the remaining apples. So,

   (4/6) a - (1/4) (4/6) a

   (4/6) a - (1/6) a = (3/6) a

Step 3:

Middle son takes (1/3) of the remaining apples. So,

   (3/6) a - (1/3) (3/6) a

   (3/6) a - (1/6) a = (2/6) a

Step 4:

Younger son takes (1/2) of the remaining apples. So,

   (2/6) a - (1/2) (2/6) a

   (2/6) a - (1/6) a = (1/6) a

After work she takes the remaining 3 apples. So the remaining apples were 3

So,

   (1/6) a = 3

       a = 3 x 6

      a = 18 apples

There were a total of 18 apples.

The admission fee to a video game arcade is $1.25 per person, and it costs $0.50 for each game played. Latoya and donnetta
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

15 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: The admission fee to a video game arcade is $1.25 per person, and it costs $0.50 for each game played. Latoya and donnetta have total $10.00 to spend. What is the greatest number of games they will be able to play?

Given: Admission fees= $1.25 per person.

           Cost of each game played= $0.50.

           Total Money, Latoya and Donnetta have is $10.

First lets find total admission fees both will pay.

∴ Total addmission fees= Fees\ per\ person \times number\ of\ person

Total addmission fees= \$1.25\times 2= \$ 2.50

Now, money remaining after paying admission fees.

Money remaining = Total\ money - Admission\ fees

∴ Money remaining = \$10-\$2.5= \$ 7.5

∴ Money remained to play video games is $7.5.

Next, finding the maximum number of games, both will be able to play.

As we know, each game will cost $0.50.

Total number of games played= \frac{Money\ remaining}{Cost\ of\ each\ game}

⇒ Total number of games played=\frac{\$ 7.5}{\$ 0.5} = 15\ games

∴ 15 games is the maximum number of games they will be able to play.
