X + y = 120000
0.15x - 0.10y = 5500
Multiply both sides of bottom by 100 to remove decimals
x + y = 120000
15x - 10y = 550000
Multiply both sides of top by 10
10x + 10y = 1200000
15x - 10y = 550000
Add the two
25x = 1750000
x = 70000

Answer:
- 6 bunches of bananas
- 7 pounds of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.
Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...
6B +8(13 -B) = 92
-2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B
13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples
The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.
