Diego pays $4.50 for 3 pound of bananas and 2 pounds of oranges. One pound of oranges costs $0.75 more than one pound of bananas. Let b represent the price per pound of bananas . which equation represents the situation, and what is the price per pound of each fruit?

D. 3b + 2(b + 0.75) = 4.50; $0.60 per pound of bananas, $1.35 per pound of oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Price per pounds of bananas = b

Price per pound of oranges = b + $0.75

Diego buys:

3 pounds of bananas = 3(b) = 3b

2 pounds of oranges = 2(b + 0.75)

Amount paid by Diego is expressed as:

3b + 2(b + 0.75) = 4.50

To find the price per pound of each fruit, use the equation above to find the value of b:

3b + 2b + 1.50 = 4.50

Combine like terms

5b + 1.50 = 4.50

5b + 1.50 - 1.50 = 4.50 - 1.50

5b = 3

5b/5 = 3/5

b = 0.6

Price per pound of banana = b = $0.6

Price per pound of oranges = b + $0.75

Plug in the value of b

= $0.6 + $0.75

= $1.35

since proposition states that a number is greater than 25, if is true then the number must actually be greater than 25.

this implies that all possible options, except 24, can be accepted

my answer is$ 12

step-by-step explanation:

because 15 -2=12
