Question

A banana costs three times as much as an apple. The total cost of 1 banana and 1

apple is $1.60. If a represents the cost of 1 apple, which equation could you use to
find a?

Answer 1

banana cost 1.20 and the apple cost 0.4

Explanation:

1.60 divided by 4 = 0.4 and the cost of apples

1.60 - 0.4 = 1.2 and the cost of bananas

since the banana cost three times you divide by two and subtract that number from the total cost to get three times the amount of the apples price. hope this helped sorry for my spelling
