Answer:
The the cost of 1 kg apples = € 2.1
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of pears bought by Lizzie = 0.8 kg
The amount of apple bought by Lizzie = 1.4 kg
Total amount paid = €4.46
Now, the cost of 1 kg pears = €1.90 per kg
So, the cost of 0.8 kg pears = 0.8 x (1.90) = €1.52
Now, let the cost of 1 kg apples = € m
So, the cost of 1.4 kg apples = 1.4 x ( € m) = 1.4 m
So, the total amount = Cost of Apples + Cost of Pears
⇒ €4.46 = €1.52 + 1.4 m
or, 1.4 m = 4.46 - 1.52 = 2.94
⇒ m = 2.94/1.4 = 2.1
or, m = 2.1
Hence, the the cost of 1 kg apples = € 2.1
