Answer:

He bought 544 oranges and 1,360 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of oranges and apples bought

Let the number of oranges be x and the number of apples be y

Looking at their ratios;

x:y = 2:5

so;

x/y = 2/5

2y = 5x ••••••(i)

Now, he lost 3/4 of the apples ( by giving out)

What would be left with him is (1-3/4) = 1/4 * y = 0.25y

What is left with him out if the oranges will be; x-34

So now;

0.25y/x-34 = 2/3

3(0.25y) = 2(x-34) •••••••(ii)

From i, y = 5x/2 = 2.5x

Putting this into ii above, we have

3(0.25)(2.5x) = 2x - 68

1.875x = 2x-68

2x-1.875x = 68

0.125x = 68

x = 68/0.125

x = 544

But y = 2.5x

y = 2.5 * 544 = 1,360

Sam has fewer baseball cards than Jill (she has 36). There are only three ways that he can arrange all of his cards in equal row
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

27, 30, 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Sam has fewer number of baseball cards than Jill who has 36 baseball cards and can arrange all his cards in only three ways, the possible number of baseball cards that Sam could have is 27, 30 or 33.

If he has 27 baseball cards, he can arrange 9 baseball cards per row in 3 rows

If he has 30 baseball cards, he can arrange 10 baseball cards per row in 3 rows

If he has 33 baseball cards, he can arrange 11 baseball cards per row in 3 rows
