Tanner is picking three varieties of apples at an orchard: Gala, Fuji, and Jazz. Each type of apple has a different cost per pou

nd. He knows that 1 pound of each apple variety would cost a total of $5.16, and that the cost per pound of Jazz apples is the same as the combined cost per pound of the Gala and Fuji apples. Tanner picks 12 pounds of apples, including 3 pounds of Gala and 5 pounds of Fuji, for a total cost of $21.24.
If g represents the cost per pound of Gala apples, f the cost per pound of Fuji apples, and j the cost per pound of Jazz apples, which system of equations represents this situation?

Answer:

2g + 2f = 5.16

7g + 9f = 21.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Gala = g ; Fuji = f ; jazz = j

g + f + j = 5.16 - - - (1)

j = g + f - - - (2)

From (1):

g + f + g + f = 5.16

2g + 2f = 5.16 - - - (3)

Total pound picked by Tanner = 12

3 Pounds of g ; 5 pounds of f

j = 12 - (5 +3) = 4 pounds

3g + 5f + 4j = 21.24 - - - (4)

3g + 5f + 4(g + f) = 21.24

3g + 5f + 4g + 4f = 21.24

7g + 9f = 21.24 - - - - - (5)

2. Suppose you pay $21 for a pair of shoes that was originally $30. What was the percent of decrease in price for the shoes? Set
boyakko [2]
30$ originally - 21$ paid = 9$ discount

> divide the discount by the original price, multiply by 100 to get the percent decrease.

100 x (9$ / 30$) = 30% discount
> So the shoes where on sale for 30% off the original price.

for the equation:
100 x (30-21)/30 = % decrease

lubasha [3.4K]
A/B : 4/9 = 12/B
         cross multiply
         (4)(B) = (9)(12)
         4B = 108
         B = 108/4
         B = 27

P = 4a...where a is the length of one side
P = 4(27)
P = 108 yds <=== perimeter of square B
