Answer:
Barry had the following:
8 bananas
12 apples
20 kiwi
32 peaches
8 grapefruit
4 mangos
88 total
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the amounts of fruit can be written in terms of one variable. Starting with bananas as 'x', we can then make different values of 'x' to produce all the other numbers of fruits:
bananas = x
apples = 2x (twice as many bananas)
kiwi = 2.5x (5/6 of applies and bananas combined = 5/6(3x) or 2.5x)
peaches = 3.5x + 4 (sum of bananas and kiwis plus four = x + 2.5x + 4)
grapefruit = x (half as many apples = 2x/2)
mango = 0.5x (20% of kiwi = (0.2)(2.5)x)
88 = x + 2x + 2.5x + 3.5x + 4 + x + 0.5x
88 = 10.5x
8 = x (bananas)
apples = 2x or 16; kiwi = 2.5x or 20, peaches = 3.5x + 4 = 32, grapefruit = x or 8, mangos = 0.5x or 4
how would I know you can find your in if you read
The answer is (4,8). I hope this helps.
