The ratio is 4:3:1
let the ratio be 4x:3x:x
according to the question,4x+3x+x=40
8x=40
x=5
therefore amount of gravel=x*4=5*4=20

amount of sand=5*3=15

amount of cement=5*1=5
Let's write 2 equations from the two statements given.
<em>Sarah spent 10 dollars on both oranges and apples</em>
<em />
Let the price of oranges be "x" and price of apples be "y", thus we can write:

Oranges cost 3 less than apples, thus we can say:

We can substitute this into the first equation and solve for y:

Thus, let's solve for x now,

We want the price of oranges (x), thus,
<em>Price of Oranges = $3.50</em>
Answer:
X=9
Y=2
Z=1
99+22=121
xx+yy=zyz
