Olivia filled 4 baskets of apples. Her friend filled up one additional basket of apples. If all of the baskets sold for a total of $160, how much money did each basket of apples cost?

Answer 1

Olivia filled 4 baskets of apples, and her friend filled 1 additional basket. This means there are a total of:

\[ 4 + 1 = 5 \text{ baskets} \]

The total revenue from selling all the baskets is $160. To find the cost of each basket, we can divide the total amount earned by the number of baskets:

\[ \text{Cost per basket} = \frac{\text{Total Revenue}}{\text{Number of Baskets}} = \frac{160}{5} = 32 \]

Therefore, each basket of apples cost $32.
