Wren is at the grocery store buying fruit. She buys x pounds of apples for $1.68 per pound. She buys 2 fewer pounds of grapes for $2.48 per pound. The cost of the fruit, before tax, is $13.76. How many pounds of each fruit is she buying?

4.5 pounds of apples

2.5 pounds of grapes

Step-by-step explanation:

a = # of apples

(a - 2) = # of grapes

1.68a + 2.48(a - 2) = 13.76

1.68a + 2.48a - 4.96 = 13.76

4.16a = 18.72

a = 4.5; Apples

(a - 2) = 2.5;  Grapes

50- 250 is correct i did that one too

step-by-step explanation:

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.
