Question

An apple is one third of the price of an orange, I bought 4 apples and an orange with $18.90. How much is the price of an apple?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of an orange be x. so the price of an apple is 1/3x. We are told that

(4 × 1/3x) + x = $18.90

→ 4/3x + x = $18.90

→ 7/3x = $18.90

→ x = ($18.90 × 3)/7

→ x = $8.10

Price of an apple = 1/3x = 1/3 × $8.10 = $2.7
