A farm stand wants to sell fruit to local grocery stores in packages with baskets of apples, worth $10 apiece, and baskets of peaches, worth $13 apiece. The owner wants each package to include 50 baskets total, and he wants to sell each package for $566. How many baskets of apples and how many baskets of peaches should he put in each package? A. 13 apples, 10 peaches
B. 22 apples, 28 peaches
C. 28 apples, 22 peaches
D. 10 apples, 13 peaches

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
