We went to the market to buy some fruit. We decided to buy some apples, strawberries, and oranges. If we buy 2 apples, 3 boxes of strawberry, and 4 oranges, the fruit would cost $15.30. If we buy 1 box of strawberry, 4 apples, and 2 oranges, the fruit would cost $10.90. If we buy 1 orange, 5 apples and 2 boxes of strawberry, the fruit would cost $13.70.

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of apples, y represent the cost of strawberries and z represent the cost of oranges.

The money used to buy 2 apples, 3 boxes of strawberry, and 4 oranges is represented as:

2x + 3y + 4z = 15.3         (1)

The money used to buy 4 apples, 1 boxes of strawberry, and 2 oranges is represented as:

4x + y + 2z = 10.9       (2)

The money used to buy 5 apples, 2 boxes of strawberry, and 1 oranges is represented as:

5x + 2y + z = 13.7        (3)

Solving equation 1, 2 and 3 simultaneously gives:

x = $1.5, y = $2.5 and y = $1.2

The cost of orange is $1.5, cost of strawberry = $2.5 and cost of orange = $1.2

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
