Given

A grocer sells oranges in bags. Each empty bag weighs 2.5 ounces and each orange weighs 7.2 ounces.

Khalil buys a bag of oranges that weighs 60.1 ounces.

Let x be the number of oranges.

Then the equation will be

y = 7.2x + 2.5

For y = 60.1, the value of x is

[tex]\rm 60.1 = 7.2x + 2.5\\[/tex]

On simplifying, we have

x = 8

Thus, the number of oranges in the bag is 8.
