Nine cartons of juice cost the same as five fruit cups. Also, one fruit cup costs 50 cents more than one bowl of soup, while one bowl of soup costs 50 cents more than one carton of juice. What would be the cost of each item; a carton of juice, a fruit cup, and a bowl of soup?
\n" ); document.write( "let 1 carton of juice cost=x cents
\n" ); document.write( "50 cents more =x+50=cost of 1 bowl of soup
\n" ); document.write( "50 cents more than above =x+50+50=x+100 = cost of 1 fruit cup
\n" ); document.write( "nine cartons of juice costs =9*x cents
\n" ); document.write( "five fruit cups cost =5*(x+100)=5x+500 cents
\n" ); document.write( "hence 9x=5x+500
\n" ); document.write( "9x-5x=500
\n" ); document.write( "4x=500
\n" ); document.write( "x=500/4=125 cents.
\n" ); document.write( "hence 1 carton of juice cost=x =125 cents
\n" ); document.write( "cost of 1 bowl of soup =x+50=125+50-175 cents
\n" ); document.write( "cost of 1 fruit cup =x+100=125+100=225 cents\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
