Answer:
- apple: £0.20
- banana: £0.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a" and "b" represent the costs of one apple and one banana, respectively. Then the purchases can be written ...
4a +b = 1.40
7a +b = 2.00
Subtracting the first equation from the second gives ...
(7a +b) -(4a +b) = (2.00) -(1.40)
3a = 0.60 . . . . simplify
a = 0.20 . . . . . .divide by 3
Using this in the first equation, we have ...
4(0.20) +b = 1.40
b = 0.60 . . . . . subtract 0.80
The cost of an apple is £0.20; the cost of a banana is £0.60.
Let n represent the amount Colin earned on Sunday.
On Sat. he earned n/2; on Sun. he earned n; and on Friday he earned (1/2)(n/2).
Then n/2 + n + n/4 = $70
Mult. all terms by 4 to eliminate fractions:
2n + 4n + n = $280
7n = $280 => n = $40
Colin earned n/2, or $20, on Saturday; n, or $40, on Sunday; and n/4, or $10, on Friday.
Note that $20 and $40 and $10 add up to $70, as they must.
