Question

Apples cost four times as much as oranges per pound. Apples are $2.80 per pound. How much do oranges cost per pound? *

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Apples cost four times as much as oranges per pound.

If the cost of orange =x

then, cost of apples =4x

But,

the costs of apples =2.80$

So,4x=2.80

$\tt{ x=\dfrac{2.80}{4} }$ ⠀

$\tt{ x=0.70\ }$ ⠀

so,oranges costs for per pound =0.70$
