Andrew and his children went into a grocery store and he bought $12 worth of
apples and bananas. Each apple costs $1 and each banana costs $0.60. He
bought a total of 16 apples and bananas altogether. By following the steps
below, determine the number of apples, x, and the number of bananas, y,
that Andrew bought.

Respuesta :

X + Y = 16
1(X) + 0.60y =12
I used the process of elimination.
Subtract everything.
0.40y = 4
Then divide
Y= 10
Therefore, he bought 10 bananas and 6 apples.

The number of apples and bananas andrew and his children bought is 6 and 10 respectively.

Andrew and his children bought $12 worth of apples and bananas. Each apple costs $1 and each banana costs $0.60. He bought a total of 16 apples and bananas altogether.
Let number of apples = x and number of bananas is x-16


What is arithmetic?

In mathematics it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.

Here,
x*4 + 0.60(16-x) = 12
0.4x + 9.6 = 12
0.4x = 2.4
Number of apples, x = 6
And number of bananas = 16 -x
                                        = 16 - 6
                                        = 10

Thus, the number of apples and bananas andrew and his children bought is 6 and 10 respectively.
