Answer:
[tex]\$1.50b+\$3g=\$12[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Bananas cost $1.50 per pound,
Guavas cost $3.00 per pound.
Kiran spends $12 on fruit for a breakfast.
Let b be the number of pounds of bananas Kiran buys.
Let g be the number of pounds of guavas Kiran buys.
Question asked: ( omitted to asked here )
a. Write an equation relating the two variables.
Solution:
Cost of banana per pound = $1.50
Cost of banana for [tex]b[/tex] pound = $1.50 [tex]\times b[/tex]
Similarly, Cost of guavas per pound = $3.00
Cost of guavas for [tex]g[/tex] pound = $3.00 [tex]\times g[/tex]
Now,
Total money spent on fruits by Kiran = $12
Cost of banana for [tex]b[/tex] pound + Cost of guavas for [tex]g[/tex] pound = $12
The equation will be:-
$1.50 [tex]\times b[/tex] + $3.00 [tex]\times g[/tex] = $12
[tex]\$1.50b+\$3g=\$12[/tex]
