Question

If 2 bananas and 2 oranges cost 34p and 2 bananas and 1 orange cost 25p.What is the cost of one banana? What 1

Answer 1

8p subtract one orange from 25p which will be 9p then you will have 16p divide that in half that will leave 8p which is the cost of one banana

Answer 2

2x+2y=34

2x+y=25

y=9, so an orange costs 9p

x+y=17 (divide first eqn by 2), so x=17-9=8

So a banana costs 8p.

Answer 3

X=cost of banana

Y=cost of orange

2x+2y=34

2x+1Y=25

-----------------

0X+Y=9

Y=9

2(x)+2(9)=34

2x+18=34

2x=16

x=8

Answer 4

9p

Answer 5

2x+2y=34           2x+y=25

y=25-2x

2x=2(25-2x)=34

2x+50-4x=34

-2x=-16

x=8

The banana's each cost 8p

Answer 6

8p

Answer 7

just give them 50p and buy a banana and see what change you get then deduct it from 50

Answer 8

2b + 2o = 34p

2b+1o = 25p

1o = 9p

--------------------------------------...

2b + 1(9) = 25p

2b +9 = 25p

2b = 25p-9

2b = 16p

∴ 1 banana = 16p

Answer 9

34 - 25 = 9

25 - 9 = 16

16 / 2 = 8

The answer's 8p :)

Answer 10

the cost of 1 banana is 8p
