a store earned $797.30 for the sale of candid apples at $2.28 each.
write & solve an equation that represents how many candid apples were sold?
Thanks!!
Let x = number of candied apples.
Then 2.28x = 797.30
Solve for x
To solve this problem, you can use the equation:
(number of candid apples) x (price per candid apple) = total earnings
Let's assign a variable to the number of candid apples, such as "x". The price per candid apple is $2.28. The total earnings are $797.30.
So, the equation becomes:
2.28x = 797.30
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 2.28:
x = 797.30 / 2.28
Using a calculator, you can find that x is approximately 349.21.
Therefore, approximately 349 candid apples were sold by the store.
