Isa bought a number of pears and apples and paid $128 for them. If a pear costs $3.00 and an apple costs $4,00, how many apples did he buy, if he bought 4 more apples than pears?



​

Sagot :

The numbers of pears and apples bought are 16 and 20 respectively

let

x = number of pears

y = number of apples

He bought 4 more apples than pears. Therefore,

  • y = x + 4

He bought a number of pears and apples and paid $128 for them. Therefore,

  • 3x + 4y = 128

System of equation:

y - x = 4

4y + 3x = 128

Therefore,

3y - 3x = 12

4y + 3x = 128

7y = 140

y = 140 / 7

y = 20

Therefore,

20 = x + 4

x = 20 - 4

x = 16
