Question

Three bananas and two pears cost 95p.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of ten bananas and ten pears is  £ 3.90

Step-by-step explanation:

As three bananas and two pears cost  95 p  and  five bananas and three pears cost  £  1.51  or  151  p ,

subtracting former from latter, we get

two bananas and one pear cost  151 p  −  95 p  =  56 p

and doubling four bananas and two pear cost  56 p × 2 = 112 p

Hence, one banana costs  112 p  −  95 p  =  17 p .

and two bananas cost  17 p  ×  2  =  34 p

and hence one pear costs  56 p  −  34 p  =  22 p

Hence cost of ten bananas and ten pears is  

10  ×  17 p  +  10  ×  22 p  =  170 p  +  220 p  =  390 p  =  £ 3.90
