Question

Oranges cost $4.25 for 5 and apples cost $4.50 for 6. What would be the total cost of 3 oranges and 2 apples?

Answer 1

5 oranges cost $4.25

1 orange costs 4.25/5 = $0.85

6 apples cost $4.50

1 apple cost 4.50/6 =$0.75

3 oranges will cost $0.85 x 3 =$2.55

2 apples will cost $o=0.75 x 2 = $1.5

3 oranges and 2 apples = $2.55 + $1.5 =$4.05
