Pam bought 20 pieces of fruit for her class. o   Each piece of fruit was either an apple or an orange.
o   She spent $1.25 on each apple.
o   She spent $0.95 on each orange.
o   Pam spent a total of $22.60.
Write a system of equations that can be used to find the number of apples Pam bought. Make sure to define your variables.
 
Choose the correct define variables and the correct system of equations

Step-by-step explanation:

Let O=number of oranges and A=number of apples.

O+A=20

O=20-A

1.25A+0.95O=22.60, using O found above makes this become

1.25A+0.95(20-A)=22.60

1.25A+19-0.95A=22.60

0.3A+19=22.60

0.3A=3.6

A=12, since O=20-A

O=20-12

O=8

So she bought 8 oranges and 12 apples. The question really only asks for the number of apples bought.

12 apples were bought.

1.25x+0.95y=22.60

x is apples y is oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

20 - 12 = 8

1.25(12) + 0.95(8) = 22.60

1.25 · 12 = $15

0.95 · 8 = $7.60

15.00 + 7.60 = $22.60

i hope that makes sense

the highest percentage for deaths in construction from highest to lowest is as follows: falls, struck by objects, electrocution, and caught-in/between. these four are collectively known as fatal four.

in the case of falls, the type that is responsible for the overall highest death in the category is falls from roofs.
