Question

At a greengrocer, two bananas and one apple is £1.16 and one banana and one apple is £0.71 how much is one apple

Answer 1

Answer:

let cost of one banana be x and cost of one apple be y.

so,   2x+y=1.16 --> a

       x  + y = 0.71 -->b

   

    now subtracting b from a , we get the result as,  

       x =  0.45

   

 so , y will be   0.71 - 0.45=  0.26  (from b)

 

so, cost of one apple will be (i.e y) = £0.26

Answer: 26p

Step-by-step explanation:

Banana =x

Apple=y

2x+y=£1.16
