Bananas cost $1.50 per pound, and guavas cost $3.00 per pound. Kiran spends $12on fruit for a breakfast his family is hosting. Let b be the number of pounds of bananas Kiran buys and g be the number of pounds of guavas he buys.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Bananas cost $1.50 per pound,

Guavas cost $3.00 per pound.

Kiran spends $12 on fruit for a breakfast.

Let b be the number of pounds of bananas Kiran buys.

Let g be the number of pounds of guavas Kiran buys.

Question asked: ( omitted to asked here )

a. Write an equation relating the two variables.

Solution:

Cost of banana per pound = $1.50

Cost of banana for pound =  $1.50

Similarly, Cost of guavas per pound = $3.00

               Cost of guavas for pound = $3.00

Now,

Total money spent on fruits by Kiran = $12

Cost of banana for pound + Cost of guavas for pound =  $12

The equation will be:-

$1.50 + $3.00 = $12

a is the correct

one set of data has more variation than the other. hope this !
