Question

Genesis goes apple picking She has to pay 5.00 for a basket plus a certain rate per apple She puts 10 apples in her basket , and the final cost is $7.50Write a linear model to represent the situationWhat is the amount per apple that Genesis has to pay ? Enter your response as a whole number followed by a decimal and two digits )

Answer 1

Let x be the rate per apple.

The linear model can be represented by the equation:
5.00 + 10x = 7.50

Solving for x, we get:
10x = 2.50
x = 2.50 / 10
x = 0.25

Therefore, Genesis has to pay $0.25 per apple.
