Question

Aisha bought 15 apples and oranges for $9. 0. Each orange costs $0. 50, and each apple costs $0. 65. Let x represent the number of oranges and y represent the number of apples. Which system can be used to find the number of apples and oranges Aisha bought? x y = 15. 0. 5 x 0. 65 y = 9. 00 x = y. 0. 5 x 0. 65 y = 9. 00 x y = 9. 0. 5 x 0. 65 y = 15. 00 x = y. 0. 5 x 0. 65 y = 15. 0.

Answer 1

Answer:

x + y = 15

0.5x + 0.65y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of oranges

y = number of apples

total of apples and oranges is 15 so x + y = 15

total cost of apples and oranges is $9 so 0.5x + 0.65y = 9

Calculation

y = 15 - x

0.5x + 0.65(15-x) = 9

0.5x - 0.65x + 9.75 = 9

-0.15x = - 0.75

x = 5

y = 15 - x = 15 - 5 = 10
