An apple costs the same as 2oranges. Let g = no. or oranges
\n" ); document.write( "a = 2g
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " Together, an orange and a banana cost .10 more than an apple.
\n" ); document.write( "g + b = a + .10
\n" ); document.write( "b = a - g + .10
\n" ); document.write( "Replace a with 2g
\n" ); document.write( "b = 2g - g +.10
\n" ); document.write( "b = g + .10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Two oranges cost .15 more than a banana.
\n" ); document.write( "2g = b + .15
\n" ); document.write( "Replace b with (g+.10)
\n" ); document.write( "2g = (g+.10) + .15
\n" ); document.write( "2g = g + .25
\n" ); document.write( "2g - g = .25
\n" ); document.write( "g = .25, is the price of each orange
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "what is the cost for one of each fruit?
\n" ); document.write( "a = 2g
\n" ); document.write( "a = 2(.25)
\n" ); document.write( "a = .50, is the price of each apple
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b = g + .10
\n" ); document.write( "b = .25 .10
\n" ); document.write( "b = .35, is the price of each banana
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution in the statement:
\n" ); document.write( "Together, an orange and a banana cost .10 more than an apple.
\n" ); document.write( ".25 + .35 = .50 + .10; confirms our solutions \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
