Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, there are two variables: the number of mangoes(y) bought and the number of oranges bought(x).
Let's say the man have z money, mangoes price is 
z and the oranges price is 
z. The equation for money and number of mangoes and oranges will be:
money = mango price * mangoes bought + orange price * orange bought
z= z * x + z *y
1= x +y
-y= x -1
y= -1.5x + 30
y= 30 - 1.5x
If he want equal number of mango and orange, that mean y=x. The calculation will be:
y= 30 - 1.5x
x= 30 - 1.5x
x+ 1.5x = 30
2.5x= 30
x= 
= 12
Answer:
the answer is d
Step-by-step explanation:
If the rate is 60 pounds for $6.60 and we need to convert it to a unit rate per ounce, you will think of it as $6.60 for 60 pounds instead.
Divide to get a unit rate per pound.
$0.11 per pound
To convert this to an amount per ounce Change the rate to say $0.11 per 16 ounces(this means the same).
Divide 0.11 by 16 to get 0.006875 or $0.007 or 0.7 cents per ounce. Choice D but it should say per ounce, not per pound.
When a () is right next to a number such as the problem you have it means to multiply. so 77 times -1 equals -77. so i'm not sure why -77 isn't one of your answer choices. maybe you mistyped something?
