Dried Bananas Sell For .80 Per Quarter Pound And Dried Apricots Sell For 1.00 Per Quarter Pound How Many?

apricots should be mixed with 13 pounds of bananas to get a mixture that sells for 10.95 per quarter pound. How many pounds are needed?

Not sure. Let me look.
(1*4)*(x)+(.8*4)*(13) = (10.95*4)/(x+13*4)
(apricot price per pound)*(pounds of apricots)+(banana price per pound)*(pounds of bananas) = (price per pound) / (pounds of apricots + pounds of bananas)
You would solve that to get your answer.
Unfortunately, a mixture that sells for 10.95 per quarter pound isn’t possible because the most expensive component is 1.00 per quarter pound, so you can’t make anything that is more than 1.00 per quarter pound.
This question does not make sense. If you combined both the apricots and bananas together, the total would become $1.80 per quarter pound. If the total bill was $10.95, you simply divide this number by $1.80. This would equal 6.08 pounds of mixed fruits. I hope this helps.
This doesn’t make sense. The mixture should be somewhere between .8 and 1 per quarter pound, not 10.95 per quarter pound
Check your homework again.
