Answer 1

Answer:

$5 \ apples = 85.00$

$Adonis = 144.67$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

$3\ apples = 51.00$

Required

The cost of 5

Divide through by 3, to get the cost of 1

$1\ apple = 17.00$

Multiply through by 5, to get the cost of 5

$5 * 1\ apple = 17.00*5$

$5 \ apples = 85.00$

Solving (b):

$Adonis : Lexus = 2 : 3$

$Lexus= 217$

Required

Find Adonis' final score

Substitute 217 for Lexus

$Adonis : 217 = 2 : 3$

Express as fraction

$\frac{Adonis}{217} = \frac{2}{3}$

$Adonis = \frac{2}{3} * 217$

$Adonis = \frac{2 * 217}{3}$

$Adonis = \frac{434}{3}$

$Adonis = 144.67$
