Aflorist has 54 pears and 84 apples what is the greatest number of identical fruit baskets that can be made without any fruit lefover

9 Pears

14 Apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor each number into prime factors.

Pears: 54: = 3*3  * 3*2

Apples: 84: = 2 *2 * 3 * 7

The answer to your question is the highest common factor

The highest common factor is 3 * 2 = 6

That means that the number of Pears and Apples needed would be whatever is left over when the Highest common factor is divided into the original number.

Pears

Original number = 54

HCF                      = 6

Number of pears in each basket = 54/6 = 9

Apples

Original Number = 84

HCF                     =   6

Number of Apples in each Basket= 84/6 = 14

Each basket would contain 9 pears and 14 apples

wholesale price is the initial price before markup. retail price comes after the markup.

a price of 8 bucks that's marked up by 100%   is

formula: initial price + (percent markup in fraction/decimal)(initial price)

8+(1)(8)

8+8

16

retail price is $16.
