Answer 1

ok so Yuka buys 6 pounds of apples at $0.50 a pound. She also buys 6 pounds of bananas. Altogether, the fruit costs $12.00. What is the cost per pound for the bananas?
If equations are easier for you, use the information to make an equation.
theres 12 pounds total (6+6)
so that will be your total
(x+x=12)
and you know 1 pound of apples is .50
you also know she bought 6 pounds of bananas.
so the equation qould be
1.50x6+bx6=12 (b=bananans, and there were 6 pounds total)
so solving that equation should get you 1.50
(Ithink you need to divide 9/6 not 6/9)
I hope that helps :/ I'm not that good at explaining
