Answer: Orange = 5 rupee

Apple = 6 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of an orange be x

Let the cost of an apple be y

We can form an equation from the question given which will be:

5x + 3y = 43 ......... i

2x + 4y = 34 ......... ii

Multiply equation i by 2

Multiply equation ii by 5

10x + 6y = 86 ........ iii

10x + 20y = 170 ..... iv

Subtract iii from iv

14y = 84

y = 84/14

y = 6

An apple cost 6 rupees

Since from equation ii

2x + 4y = 34

2x + 4(6) = 34

2x + 24 = 34

2x = 34 - 24

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

An orange cost 5 rupee

Eddi Din [679]
It will take 83 1/3 tiles to fill the wall.

Let x be the entire wall:
3/5x = 50

Divide both sides by 3/5:
x = 50 ÷ 3/5
x = 50/1 ÷ 3/5
x = 50/1 × 5/3
x = 250/3 = 83 1/3

How do you use the order of operations to evaluate expressions with exponents?
IgorLugansk [536]
Using BEDMAS, it would be brackets first, so anything Inside a set of brackets would be solved first, and would follow the same rule. Once the brackets have been solved, next would be the exponents. Since your brackets have been solved you can expand with the exponents. After exponents, would be anything that has to be divided or multiplied. These two operations are interchangeable based on what is more convenient or beneficial to do first. And lastly, addition and subtraction, which once again are interchangeable operations

Round 176,257 to the nearest hundred thousand
Luden [163]

The nearest hundred thousand would give you zeros after the comma in 176,257

If the number to the right of the comma in this case the "2" is 4 or less than you don't round the 6 up. If the "2" is 5 or greater than you round the 6 up by one number.

For example : 123,557 gives us 124,000

but 123,337 gives us 123,000

Therefore our answer is 176,000
