Keena bought a total of 16 apples and oranges for $20. Each orange was $2, and each apple was $1.

Make a graph to represent the cost of apples and oranges.

After examining the graphs representing both situations, it can be seen that Keena bought _____oranges and ____apples.

How many did she buy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Keena bought [tex]4[/tex] oranges and [tex]12[/tex] apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of apples

y----> the number of oranges

we know that

[tex]x+y=16[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]x+2y=20[/tex] -----> equation B

Using a graphing tool

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point is [tex](12,4)[/tex]

see the attached figure

therefore

Keena bought [tex]4[/tex] oranges and [tex]12[/tex] apples
