Answer:
The apples cost $3.82 per pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Cost of grapes = $2.45 per pd
Total money spent = $15
Total purchasing = 2 lbs of apples and 3 lbs of grapes
Total cost of grapes =
[tex]=\text{Cost of grapes}\times \text{Amount of grapes}\\= 2.45\times 3 = 7.35\$[/tex]
Total cost of apples =
[tex]\text{Total cost} - \text{Total cost of grapes}\\= 15 - 7.35 = 7.65\$[/tex]
Cost of apple =
[tex]= \dfrac{\text{Total cost of apple}}{\text{Amount of apple}}\\\\= \dfrac{7.65}{2} = 3.825\$\text{ per pound}[/tex]
Thus, the apples cost $3.82 per pounds.
Answer: one pound of apple costs $3.825
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one pound of apple.
Total amount spent on 2 lbs of apple and 3 lbs of grapes is $15
The grapes cost $2.45 per pound. This means that the total cost of 3 lbs of grapes would be
2.45 × 3 = $7.35
Since Cindy spent a total of $15, it means that
2x + 7.35 = 15
Subtracting 7.35 from both sides of the equation, it becomes
2x + 7.35 - 7.35 = 15 - 7.35
2x = 7.65
x = 7.65/2 = $3.825
