How many pounds of apples will he get if he goes to David’s orchard?

Answer 1

David's orchid: 20 +x

Pam's orchid: 25 + 0.75x

Explanation:

Framing linear equations:

David's apple orchid:

Cost of first 10 pounds = 10 * 2 = $ 20

Let the weight of additional apples picked = x pounds

Cost of 'x' pounds = 1 * x = $ x

Total cost = cost of first 10 pounds + cost of additional 'x' pounds

= 20 + x

Pam's orchid:

Entry fee = $ 10

Cost of first 10 pounds = 10 * 1.50 = $ 15

Cost of 'x' pounds = 0.75*x = 0.75x

Total cost = Entry fee + cost of first 10 pounds + cost of additional 'x' pounds

= 10 + 15 + 0.75x

= 25 + 0.75x
