At a greengrocer, two bananas and one apple cost ? 1.16 and one banana and one apple cost ? 0.71. how much does one apple cost?

Answer

Find out the how much does one apple cost .

To prove

Let us assume that the number of bananas be x .

Let us assume that the number of apples be y .

As given

At a greengrocer, two bananas and one apple cost $1.16 .

Than the equation becomes

2x + y = 1.16

one banana and one apple cost $0.71.

Than the equation becomes

x + y = 0.71

Subtracting x + y = 0.71 from 2x + y = 1.16

2x - x + y - y = 1.16 - 0.71

x = 0.45

Put in the equation x + y = 0.71

0.45 + y = 0.71

y = 0.71 - 0.45

y = $0.26

Therefore the cost of the one apple is  $0.26 .

∠acb = 8°

step-by-step explanation:

∠xba lies on the circle and is half the measure of the intercepted arc ax

hence

measure of arc ax = 2 × 42° = 84°

∠acb is outside the circle and is

∠acb = (arcab - arcax ), hence

∠acb = 0.5 (100 - 84) = 0.5 × 16° = 8°
