Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of each pounds of bananas be x andthe price of each pounds of grapes be y.
ATQ,
3x+4y = 10.25 ...(1)
2x+2y = 5.5 ..(2)
Multiply equation (2) by 2.
4x+4y = 11 ...(3)
Now, subtract equation (1) from (3).
4x+4y-(3x+4y) = 11-10.25
4x+4y-3x-4y = 0.75
x = 0.75
Put the value of x in equation (2)
2(0.75)+2y = 5.5
1.5+2y = 5.5
2y = 5.5 - 1.5
2y = 4
y = 2
So, there are 0.75 pounds of bananas and 2 pounds of grapes.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight of fish Eric bought
= Weight of fish at first - Weight remaining
= 7/8 lb - 1/2 lb = 3/8 lb.
Number of fish Eric bought
= (3/8 lb) / (1/64 lb)
= (24/64 lb) / (1/64 lb)
= 24.
Hence Eric bought 24 fishes.
