anna bought 3 types of fruit for a fruit salad. She paid three times as much for buleberries as for pears and $2.50 less for strawberries than for blueberries.

A) define a variable and write algebraic expressions to represent the amount she spent on each type of fruit.
B) if the total cost was $ 13.25 how much did anna spend on each type of fruit?
Please help me in this problem????

A. $X for pears.

$3x for Blueberries.
$(3x-2.50) For strawberries.

B. X + 3x + (3x-2.50) = $13.25.
7x - 2.50 = 13.25
7x = 15.75

X = $2.25.
3x = 3*2.25 = $6.75.
3x-2.50 = 3*2.25 - 2.50 = $4.25.

johanna has a cellphone plan that has a monthly charge plus a per text fee. In October , she sent 45 texts and her bill $37.25. In November, she sent 118 texts and her bill was $40.90

write the y-intercept in coordinate form.Explain what the y-intercept represents in the problem situations please help

i had this on a test thank you fore the ansers

A) Let's define some variables to represent the amount Anna spent on each type of fruit.

Let x represent the amount she spent on pears.
Since she paid three times as much for blueberries as for pears, the amount she spent on blueberries can be represented as 3x.
And since she paid $2.50 less for strawberries than for blueberries, the amount she spent on strawberries can be represented as (3x - $2.50).

B) Now that we have the algebraic expressions, we can set up an equation to solve for the amounts.

The equation for the total cost is:
x + 3x + (3x - $2.50) = $13.25

Simplifying the equation, we have:
7x - $2.50 = $13.25

Adding $2.50 to both sides of the equation, we get:
7x = $15.75

Dividing both sides of the equation by 7, we find:
x = $2.25

Now we can substitute this value back into the expressions to find the amounts for each fruit:
Amount spent on pears = x = $2.25
Amount spent on blueberries = 3x = 3($2.25) = $6.75
Amount spent on strawberries = 3x - $2.50 = 3($2.25) - $2.50 = $4.75

Therefore, Anna spent $2.25 on pears, $6.75 on blueberries, and $4.75 on strawberries.
