From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75
Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88
so we form an equation:
3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88
3x + 2.25 = 5.88
3x = 5.88 - 2.25
3x = 3.63
x = 3.63 / 3
x = 1.21
Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
8.35 < 3x + 18.75
3x + 18.75 > 8.35
3x > 8.35 - 18.75
3x > -10.4
x > -3.47
It is 12 since 1/6=6^-1=6
implies 2*6=12
