Aisha bought 15 apples and oranges for $9.00. Each orange costs $0.50, and each apple costs $0.65. Let x represent the number of oranges and y represent the number of apples. Which system can be used to find the number of apples and oranges Aisha bought?

Answer :

Answer:

x + y = 15

0.5x + 0.65y = 9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents the number of oranges

y represents the number of apples

Aisha bought 15 pieces of fruit:  oranges + apples = 15 or x + y = 15

Oranges cost $0.50 and apples cost $0.65.  Aisha spent $9.00 on the fruit.

0.5x (total cost for oranges) + 0.65y (total cost for apples) = 9.00 (total cost for fruit) or 0.5x + 0.65y = 9.00

The system of equation is ( x + y = 15 ) and ( 0.5x + 0.65y = 9.00 ).

What is an equation?

An equation is defined as the relation between variables, if we plot the graph of the linear two equations we will get a straight line.

The system of equations is formed as

x represents the number of oranges.

y represents the number of apples.

Aisha bought 15 pieces of fruit:  oranges + apples = 15 or x + y = 15

Oranges cost $0.50 and apples cost $0.65.  Aisha spent $9.00 on the fruit.

0.5x (total cost for oranges) + 0.65y (total cost for apples) = 9.00 (total cost for fruit) or 0.5x + 0.65y = 9.00

x + y = 15

0.5x + 0.65y = 9.00

Therefore the system of equation is ( x + y = 15 ) and ( 0.5x + 0.65y = 9.00 ).
