Answer 2

Answer:

Mrs ali bought 8 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Apples and Pears: 15 Total

Total Price: $7.40

1 apple: 0.40

1 pear: 0.60

a = apple

p = pear

Solve system of equation

a + p = 15

.40a + .60p = 7.40

-.20a = -1.6

a = -1.6/-.20

a = 8

p = 7 ( note p/ pears is not needed but to find p just plug a=8 to

the orignal equation and solve for p )

Mrs ali bought 8 apples
