Question:

Ted and Robin each gave a basket of green apples to their friend Lily. Ted’s basket contains 5 apples, each weighing 7 1/4 ounces. Robin’s basket contains 6 apples, each weighing 6 1/2 ounces. Whose basket is heavier and by how much?

Answer:

Robin’s basket is heavier than Ted’s basket by 2.75 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ted’s basket contains = 5 apples

Weight of each apple in Ted’s basket = 7 1/4 ounces

Robin’s basket contains = 6 apples

Weight of each apple in Robin’s basket = 6 1/2 ounces

To Find:

Whose basket is heavier and by how much?

Solution:

Step 1: Finding the weight of Ted’s basket

Weight of Ted’s basket = Number of apple in the basket X Weight of each apple

Weight of Ted’s basket = $5 \times 7\frac{1}{4}$

Weight of Ted’s basket = $5 \times \frac{29}{4}$

Weight of Ted’s basket = $\frac{145}{4}$

Weight of Ted’s basket = 36.25 --------------------------------(1)

Step 2: Finding the weight of Robin’s basket

Weight of Robin’s basket = Number of apple in the basket X Weight of each apple

Weight of Robin’s basket = $6 \times 6\frac{1}{2}$

Weight of Robin’s basket = $6 \times \frac{13}{2}$

Weight of Robin’s basket = $\frac{78}{2}$

Weight of Robin’s basket = 39 ounces--------------------------(2)

Comparing equation (1) and (2)

39 - 36.25 = 2.75 ounces

Weight of Robin’s basket > Weight of Ted’s basket

Tom wants to buy some protein bars and magazines for a trip he has decided to buy three times as many protein bars with magazine

kumpel [21]

Answer:12 Protein bar and 3 magazines

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tom purchases Protein bars 3 times as much as magazine

Each bar cost $\$ 0.7$

Each magazine costs $\$ 2.50$

Sales tax is 6.5 %

suppose Tom buy x magazines so

Price of magazine is $2.5 x$

Price of bars is $3\times 0.7x=2.1 x$

Total Price $=2.5 x+2.1 x=4.6 x$

After sales tax $=4.6x(1+0.065)=4.899 x$

This must be less than $\$ 20$

so $4.899x < 20$

$x< 4.082$

thus $x=4$

so he but 4 magazines and 12 protein bars
