Jerry buys 7 times as many bananas than Evan from the store. Write an expression that shows the number of apples Jerry bought if b represents bananas.
Apples? How do apples fit into this problem about bananas?
I have no idea how many apples because this is about bananas but if you mean bananas and not apples then:
7 b
all join in a chorus of:
"Yes, we have no bananas" ....
We have no bananas today!
To write an expression that shows the number of apples Jerry bought, we need to know the number of bananas Evan bought. Let's use the variable "e" to represent the number of bananas Evan bought.
Given that Jerry buys 7 times as many bananas as Evan, we can express Jerry's banana purchase as 7e. Since we are looking for the number of apples Jerry bought, let's use the variable "a" to represent that.
Thus, the expression that shows the number of apples Jerry bought, based on the given information, would be:
a = 7e.
