Small fruit basket with 6 apples and 6 oranges costs $7.50. a different fruit basket with 10 apples and 5 oranges costs $8.75. if x is the cost of one apple and y is the cost of one orange, the system of equations below can be used to determine the cost of one apple and one orange.

6x + 6y = 7.50
10x + 5y = 8.75
what is the cost of one apple?

A) 6x + 6y = 7.50
B) 10x + 5y = 8.75
Multiplying A) by -5
A) -30x -30y = -37.50 Multiplying B) by 3
B) 30x +15y = 26.25 then adding A) and B)

-15y = -11.25
y = .75 per orange

A) 6x + 6y = 7.50
6x + 6*.75 = 7.50
6x + 4.50 = 7.50
6x = 3.00
x = .50 per apple

For Ed it is going to be .50

One shot. if 60% of 10 is 6, then what is 70%? we know it would be seven (since 60% is mathematically 60/100, or 6/10, then 70% is 70/100, or 7/10) but we can check anyway using ratios: 6 : 60% = x : 70%*inverse multiplicationx * 60% = 6 * 70%*divide both sides by 60%x = (6 * 70%) / 60%x = 7and since he has made 6 shots already, he would need just one more to get 7 shots or 70%. if the explanation is too confusing, comment and i will try to
