Leah needs to buy some apples from the grocery store. She places fifteen apples in her cart and proceeds to the checkout. Lucky for her, there happens to be a discount on apples for the day. She saves $25 on her purchase. The total money she ends up spending was only $35 (excluding tax). How much did each apple cost?
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm pretty sure it's D
First, we need to add 2/6 and 2/5.
2/6 can be simplified to 1/3
We need to have 1/3 and 2/5 have the same denominator. 3 and 5's LCM (least common multiply) is 15.
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5. This equals 5/15.
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 2/5 by 3. This equals 6/15.
5/15 plus 6/15 is 11/15. This means that Jack's 6000 dollars is 4/15.
Let's say that x is the total amount invested by all three.
6000/x would equal 4/15.
Solve this by multiply 6000 by 15 and 4 by x and making these two equal each other.
90000 would equal 4x. Divide both sides by 4 to get x.
90000 divided by 4 would be 22500.
4/15 is the fraction by Jack
22500 is the total amount invested by all 3
