If you bought 6 pears and 20 oranges and then bought 11 pears and 12 oranges and spent the same each time, how much do oranges cost if the pears are 80 cents each?

6(.80) + 20x = 11(.80) + 12x

Solve for x.

To find the cost of oranges, we first need to determine the total amount spent on pears in each scenario.

In the first scenario, you bought 6 pears and they cost 80 cents each, so the total spent on pears is 6 * $0.80 = $4.80.

In the second scenario, you bought 11 pears and they again cost 80 cents each, so the total spent on pears is 11 * $0.80 = $8.80.

Since the amount spent on pears is the same in both cases, we subtract the total spent on pears from the total amount spent to find the cost of oranges.

In the first scenario, the total amount spent is not given, so we cannot determine the cost of oranges. More information is needed to solve this problem accurately.
