Kathryn had some apples for sale. She sold 30 apples in the morning and 5/9 of the remainder in the afternoon. She sold her apples at $5 for $40. She had 1/6 of the apples left in the end. How many apples did Kathryn have at first and money did she collect in total from the sale of her apples in the morning and afternoon?
30 - 6 = 24/24
24/24 - 9 = 15/24
A) 15/24 = 30
24/24 = 24*30/15
= 48
B) left = 48 * 1/6
= 8
sold = 40
5 durians —> $40
40 “ = 40/5 * $40
= $320
The statement "She sold her apples at $5 for $40" makes no sense
many of the statements provided by "anonymous" are nonsense statements,
e.g. first one:
30 - 6 = 24/24
The left side of equation is 24, the right side of the equation is 1
so they are saying 24 = 1, which is gibberish
I will start the question:
Let the number of apples for sale be x
number sold in morning = 30
number sold in afternoon = (5/9)(30-x)
total sold = 30 + (5/9)(30-x), this is (5/6)x , since 1/6 of x are left
30 + (5/9)(30-x) = (5/6)x
30 + 50/3 - 5x/9 = 5x/6
times 18 to get rid of fractions
540 + 300 - 10x = 15x
25x = 840
I get partial apples, check you typing
