Apples: $(2x) per pound Grapes: $(6x - 5) per pound
Oranges: $(x + 2) per pound
A shopper purchases one pound each of
apples, grapes, and oranges and spends
$10.50. How much is spent on each type
of fruit?

Shopper spend on Apples $3 , on Grapes $4  and  on Oranges $3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Apples: $(2x) per pound

Grapes: $(6x - 5) per pound

Oranges: $(x + 2) per pound

A shopper purchases one pound each of  apples, grapes, and oranges and spends  $10.50.

It can be written as:

We need to find how much the shopper spend on each fruit.

Solution:

Now, we need to find value of x by solving equation

Solving:

The value of x is: x=1.5

Now finding cost of one pound each fruit by putting x=1.5

Apples: $(2x) per pound  

$2x= 2(1.5) = $3

Grapes: $(6x - 5) per pound

$(6x-5) = (6(1.5)-5)= $4

Oranges: $(x + 2) per pound

$(x+2)=(1.5+2)=$3.5

So, shopper spend on apples $3, on Grapes $4 and on Oranges $3.5.

true statements:

a) x + y = y + x   ⇒ commutative property of addition

b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication

d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

false statements:

c) x - y = y - x   should be: x - y = - y + x

e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)
