Question

In a Farmer’s market, the price of 2 apples is equal to that of 3 oranges. If a dozen of oranges cost $3, how many apples can be purchased with $18?

ASAP plz and give me a answer

Answer 1

if 12 oranges cost $3
then 1 orange costs $3/12 or 25 cents

then 2 apples cost 75 cents or
1 apple costs 75/2 cents

then number of apples for $18 = 1800/(75/2) = 48
