Answer 2

i dont understand, im lost and need help im confused?

Answer 3

Well, since you don't know the price for the fruit individually, let's start with that.
To find the individual price for apples, do the equation: 4.50/12.
Tell me what you get.

Answer 4

0.375

Answer 5

That will be the cost of one apple. Angie is buying 14 apples, so she buys a pack of 12 and 2 separate apples.
Add up $4.50+$0.375+$0.375

Answer 6

5.25?

Answer 7

Exactly! You have the price she paid for the apples!
Now, we have to find how much she spent on 5 peaches.
You're going to want to do something similar. Divide 3.60/12
