Answer:
a)
$2.79 per pound.
$0.93 per apple.
b)
Unit price per pound is typically used because weight and size of every apple is not same.
Step-by-step explanation:
5 pound bag of organic apples = $13.95
1 pound bag of organic apples = $13.95/5
= $2.79
The unit price of apples that cost $13.95 for 5 pounds is $12.79 per pound.
<em>As a general rule, 1 pound of apples is equal to: 4 small apples. 3 medium apples. 2 large apples. So, here we assume that apples are of medium size.</em>
3 apples cost = $2.79
<em>The unit price means 'what is the cost of 1 apple'</em>
1 apple cost =$2.79/3
=$0.93
The unit price of apples that cost $2.79 for 3apples is $0.93 per apple.

Answer:
48 months
Step-by-step explanation:
first take how much you need and add how much you want to leave, so 2500+500=3000. Then delete 600 from 3000, which will give you $2400. divide $2400 by 50 which gives you 48. it will take 48 months to get enough money to purchase a car at $2500 and leave $500 in the account.
Answer:
A or (2x+1)/(x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's simplify the top of the fraction first.
1. Simplify the numerator.
2x^2 -7x-4=(2x+1)(x-4)
2. Simplify the denominator.
x^2-5x+4=(x-4)(x-1)
Now we have:
((2x+1)(x-4))/((x-4)(x-1))
We see that there is an (x-4) both on the numerator and denominator.
We can remove (x-4) by division.
Doing that, we have:
(2x+1)/(x-1) or A
It's easy once you spot the ones that can cross cancel!
Say we have the fractions 8/10 and 20/23. 
(it's easier to see on top of each other)
If you look diagonally , so 8 and 23 and 10 and 20, you can see that 10 and 20 have a common factor. So we divide it by the highest common factor to reduce those numbers, making it easier to multiply. 10 and 20 can become 1 and 2, dividing by 10. So now we are left with 8/1 and 2/23, and now we multiply normally going across so 16/23.
This works going both diagonals and simplifying both, but in that case it would be easier to try and simplify the fractions before cross multiplying them.
Basically: look for those diagonals and if they can be divided down by the highest common factor, go for it to make it easier to multiply normally afterwards.
Hope I helped!
