Question

Gordon is going to buy fruit

for a smoothie. He wants
raspberries, R, that are $4 a
carton and strawberries, S,
that are $2 a carton. Write an
equation to represent all the
combinations of fruit if Tony
has $24 to spend.

Answer 1

4R+2S=24

Explanation:

Let the raspberry be represented as R

Let the strawberry be represented as S

Since a carton of raspberry is$4=4R

Since a carton of strawberry is $2=2S

And the sum of the two is 24

4R+2S=24

Since a specific value is not given

So the final answer is

4R+2S=24
