a+b = 24.50
+
S 6a+ 4b = 24.50
B.
(a + b = 5
C.
6a = 4b
5(a + b) = 24.50
ſ 6a + b = 4
D.
5a + b = 24.50

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of apricots purchased = a pounds

and the amount of bananas purchased = b pounds

Since, Andre purchased total amount of apricots and bananas = 5 pounds

Equation for the total amount will be,

a + b = 5

If the cost of bananas = $4 per pounds and the cost of apricots = $6 per pound

Total amount spent = $24.50

Therefore, equation for the expense will be,

6a + 4b = 24.50

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.
