Question 1095004
Let {{{ k }}} = the number of oranges bought @ 3 for 48 cents
{{{ ( 48/3 )*k = 16k }}} is the amount spent
{{{ 2k }}} = the number bought @ 4 for 58 cents
{{{ ( 58/4 )*2k = 29k }}} is the amount spent
{{{ 16k + 29k = 45k }}} is the total spent
---------------------------------------
{{{ 45k + .25*45k = ( m/4 )*( k + 2k ) }}}
{{{ 1.25*45k = 3k*( m/4 ) }}}
{{{ 5*45k = 3k*m }}}
Divide both sides by {{{ k }}}
{{{ 225 = 3m }}}
{{{ m = 75 }}}
----------------------
check:
{{{ 1.25*45k = 3k*(m/4) }}}
{{{ 225 = 3m }}}
{{{ m = 75 }}}
OK
