Did Joanna buy a total of 5 pounds of apples at the farmers market?

Respuesta :

The number of apples that were bought by Joanna is 6 pounds.

How to calculate the value?

Let p = the number of pounds of apples Joanna bought.

Let o = oranges

Therefore, the equation will be:

1.49p + 8o = 23.26

1.49p + 1.79 × 8 = 23.26

1.49p + 14.32 = 23.26

1.49p = 23.26 - 14.32

1.49p = 8.94

p = 8.94/1.49

p = 6

No. Joanna didn't buy a total of 5 pounds of apples at the farmers market.
