​
pounds of apples this week at the grocery store?

The new price for one pound of apples is $1.44

Step-by-step explanation:

A 10% discount from $1.60 is $0.16, which can be found by multiplying $1.60 by 0.10. To figure out the new price, use the equation: $1.60 - $0.16= $1.44

step-by-step explanation:

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
