Pranav and Jill are selling pies for a school findraiser, Customers can buy apple pies and blackborry pies. Pranav sold S apple ples and 4 blackberry pies for a total of 8140, Ill sold o apple pies and 4 blackberry pies for a total of $152. What is the cost each of one apple tie and one blackberry pie?

Answer 1

Let the cost of one apple pie be A and the cost of one blackberry pie be B.

From the first statement, we can write the equation:

SA + 4B = 8140 ----(1)

From the second statement, we can write the equation:

4*B = 152

Solving for B:

B = 38

Substituting B in equation (1) and solving for A:

SA + 438 = 8140

S*A = 8008

A = 8008/S

We do not have enough information to find the value of S or A individually, but we can find the relationship between them:

A/B = (8008/S)/38 = 211/S

Therefore, the cost of one apple pie is 211 times the cost of one blackberry pie.
