Question

Each Macintosh apple cost $

Answer 1

To find the cost of each Macintosh apple, we first need to determine the total cost of the Granny Smith apples and then use that to find the cost of the Macintosh apples.

1. Calculate the cost of the Granny Smith apples:

   • Cost of 1 Granny Smith apple = $1.35
   • Number of Granny Smith apples bought = 6
   • Total cost for Granny Smith apples = 6 × $1.35 = $8.10

2. Calculate the total cost of the Macintosh apples:

   • Total cost for both types of apples = $15
   • Total cost for Granny Smith apples = $8.10
   • Total cost for Macintosh apples = Total cost - Cost of Granny Smith apples
   • Total cost for Macintosh apples = $15 - $8.10 = $6.90

3. Calculate the cost of each Macintosh apple:

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

Thus, the cost of each Macintosh apple is $1.15.
