Marina spent $13.50 at the grocery store. She bought pears, kiwis, and pineapples. Pears cost $0.50 each, pineapples cost $1.50
each, and kiwis are $0.30 each. How many did she buy if she bought 9 more pears than pineapples and 2 fewer kiwis than pears?

Answer:
Number of pineapples= 10
number of pears = 19
number of kiwis = 10 -2 = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of a pear = $ 0.50
Cost of a pineapple = $ 1.5
cost of a kiwi = $ 0.3
Let the pineapples = p
Number of pears = 9 + p
Number of kiwis = p - 2
The cost is
0.15 p + 0.5 (9 + p) + 0.3 (p - 2) = 13.50
0.15 p + 4.5 + 0.5p + 0.3 p - 0.6 = 13.50
0.95 p = 9.6
p = 10
Answer: There is 3 pineapples, 12 pears and 10 kiwis
