Mr. Gomez bought fruit to make fruit salad. He bought 2 ½ pounds of apples and spent $4.50 on apples and oranges . Write and solve an equation to determine the number of pounds of oranges Mr. Gomez bought.

Amount of orange = 1.25 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount of apple = 2.5 pound

Total cost = $4.5

Missing cost;

Orange = $1.2 per pound

Apple = $1.2 per pound

Computation:

Assume amount of orange = x

So,

1.2(x) + 2.5(1.2) = 4.5

1.2 x + 3 = 4.5

1.2 x = 1.5

x = 1.25 pound

Amount of orange = 1.25 pound

.there can be infinite values of m and n that can satisfy the above equation. for each value of m of m or n. there maybe infinite sets of solution for the above
