Nora and her children went into a grocery store and she bought $11.95 worth of apples and bananas. each apple cost $1.25 and each banana costs $0.40. she bought a total of 15 apples and bananas altogether. determine the number of apples and the number of bananas that nora bought.

apples = 7 and bananas = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number  of apples and y represent the number of banana,

and it was said that the total apples and bananas altogether is 15 , that is

x + y = 15 equation 1

Also,

1.25x + 0.40y = 11.95 equation 2

Solving the two equations simultaneously ,

From the first equation, x = 15 - y equation 3

substitute equation 3 into equation 2, we have

1.25(15 - y) + 0.40y = 11.95

18.75 - 1.25y + 0.40y = 11.95

18.75 - 0.85y = 11.95

18.75 - 11.95 = 0.85y

6.8 = 0.85y

therefore y = 6.8/0.85

= 8

substitute y = 8 , into equation 3

x = 15 - 8

x = 7

Therefore , she bought 7 apples and 8 banana

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
