b) What is the cost of one pineapple?
Give your answer in Euro.
c) What is the cost of two pineapples and six apples?

Good evening

a) the cost of one apple is €0.9

b) the cost of one pineapple is €5.4

c) the cost of two pineapples and six apples is €16.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider P the price of a pineapple

               A the price of an apple

A pineapple costs six times as much as an apple means P = 6A

Mum paid €7.20 for one pineapple and two apples means P + 2A = 7.20

then

6A + 2A = 7.20

then

8A = 7.20

then

A = €0.9  

Since P = 6A then P = 6×(0.9) = €5.4

the cost of two pineapples and six apples

= 2P + 6A

= 2P + P

= 3P

= 3×(5.4)

= €16.2

i dont know if you cant find a way its best to actually add all of them start from 105 tho
