Answer:
If there are 2 quarters for every 3 nickels,
then there are
quarters.
If there are 2 dimes for every quarter,
then there are
dimes.
If the number of pennies and nickels together are equal to the number of dimes, then there are
pennies.
The original number is 72
(18+x)/6 = 1+14
1/6x + 3 = 1 + 14 (Distribute)
1/6x + 3 = (1+14) (Combine Like Terms)
1/6x + 3 = 15
- 3 = -3 (Subtract 3 From Both Sides)
1/6x = 12
(1/6x)*6 = 12 * 6 (Multiply Both Sides By 6)
x = 72
Since x is the cost of the oranges per pound in cents, the total amount spent on oranges in cents is 3x. Then, you spent 59 cents on cucumbers and 35 cents on bananas. The total amount spent on all food is the sum of the individuals. 3x+59+35. Combine like terms to get 3x+94. This will give you your total in cents. If you need a total in dollars, you would just multiply that expression by 0.01.
The percent would be 560%
