Question

Each Macintosh apple cost $.....

Answer 1

Let's break down the problem step by step to find the cost of each Macintosh apple.

1. Calculate the cost of the Granny Smith apples:

   • Dahlia bought 6 Granny Smith apples at $1.35 each.
   • Total cost for 6 Granny Smith apples = 6 * $1.35 = $8.10.

2. Calculate the remaining amount for Macintosh apples:

   • The total cost of all apples is $15.
   • Amount spent on Macintosh apples = Total cost - Cost of Granny Smith apples
   • Amount spent on Macintosh apples = $15 - $8.10 = $6.90.

3. Calculate the cost of each Macintosh apple:

   • Dahlia bought 6 Macintosh apples.
   • Total cost for 6 Macintosh apples = $6.90.
   • Cost of each Macintosh apple = Total cost for Macintosh apples / Number of Macintosh apples
   • Cost of each Macintosh apple = $6.90 / 6 = $1.15.

So, each Macintosh apple costs $1.15.
