Answer :
You should buy approximately 1.067 kilograms of apples at $10.20 per kilogram in order to have the kilogram of fruit cost $8.15.
Let's assume that Sally bought x kilograms of apples at $10.20 per kilogram.
The total cost of bananas is given as AED 7.35 per kilogram, and Sally bought 1.4 kilograms of bananas. So, the cost of the bananas is:
Cost of bananas = AED 7.35 * 1.4 = AED 10.29
The total cost of apples is given by the equation:
Cost of apples = $10.20 * x
The total cost of the fruits combined should be AED 8.15 per kilogram. So, the equation becomes:
Total cost of fruits = (Cost of bananas + Cost of apples) / (1.4 + x) = AED 8.15
Substituting the known values, we have:
(10.29 + 10.20 * x) / (1.4 + x) = 8.15
Cross-multiplying and simplifying, we get:
10.29 + 10.20 * x = 8.15 * (1.4 + x)
Expanding the equation, we have:
10.29 + 10.20 * x = 11.41 + 8.15 * x
Rearranging the equation, we get:
10.20 * x - 8.15 * x = 11.41 - 10.29
1.05 * x = 1.12
Dividing both sides by 1.05, we find:
x = 1.12 / 1.05
x ≈ 1.067
complete question:
Sally bought 1.4 kilograms of bananas for AED 7.35 $ a kilo. How many kilograms
of apples sold at 10.20 $ per kilogram should you buy so that the kilogram of fruit
costs 8.15 $
