Abag of apples weighs 7 7/8 pounds and a full bag costs $10.88. by weight 1/18 of the apples are rotten . what is the cost of the bag if the bad apples are removed?

Hello there!

We know that a bag of apples weighs (7 + 7/8) lb  and costs $10.88

But 1/18 of the apples are rotten, if we remove the rotten apples, we still have the other 17/18 portion of the bag to pay.

then; if the full bag costs $10.88, how much does it cost a 17/18 of the bag?

this is (17/18)*$10.88 = $10.28

Then if you remove 1/18 of the apples, the bag costs 10.28 dollars.

notice that I did not use the weight of the apples, in a lot of math problems you will have more information than the needed, and you need to know when the information is useful and when it is not.

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

what is the answer?
