Question 561076

Total peaches = 30
Cost of all peaches = $7.50
Small ones = x
large ones = 30-x
Price of a small peach = $0.20
Price of a small peach = $0.35

(Cost of a small peach)*(total small peaches) + (cost of a large peaches)*(total large peaches) = Total cost of all peaches
(0.20)(x)+(0.35)(30-x)=7.30
0.2x+10.5-0.35x=7.50
-0.15x+10.5=7.50
-0.15x=7.50-10.5
-0.15x=-3.0
-0.15x/-0.15=-3.0/-0.15
x=20



Small ones = x = 20
large ones = 30-x = 30-20 = 10




Check
======
=20*0.20 + 10*0.35
=4+3.5
=$7.5
