Question

8)
(1) While visiting an orphanage, a family purchased 200 pieces of banana and apples. If
there are 40 inmates and each is given 'x' bananas and ‘y apples, express the above
statement as a linear equation in two variables.​

Answer 1

Answer:

X=number of bananas

y=number of apples

40x+40y=200

Answer 2

The linear equation is 40x + 40y = 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

While visiting an orphanage, a family purchased 200 pieces of banana and apples.

Let the number of bananas have given = x

number of apples have given  = y

If there are 40 inmates, each has given x bananas and y apples then,

40x + 40y = 200

Hence, the linear equation is 40x + 40y = 200.
