Read Solution (Total 22)
-
- avg cost of 4 apples and 5 mangoes , 4+5=9 --> 9*30=270
avg cost of 8 apples and 7 mangoes, 8+7=15 -->15*40=600
Total cost for 12 apples and 12 mangoes, 270+600=870.
now, for 24 apples and 24 mangoes = 2*870= 1740 is answer. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(23) No(2)
- cost of 12 apples and 12 mangoes= 40 +30=70
cost of 24 apples and 24 mangoes= 2*70=140 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(15) No(7)
- average cost of 8 apples+7 mangoes=40
average cost of 4 apples+5 mangoes=30
solving this,
average cost of 12 Apples+12 Mangoes=(30+40)/2=35
hence avg cost of 24 mangoes + 24 apples = 35
Total cost = 48*35=1680 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- Given cost is average not total. and we have to find out total cost.
let price of one apple is X, and for mangoes is Y.
equation will be
(4X+5Y)/9 = 30 (here divided by 9 by virtue of total no. of apple and mangoes
are 4+5 = 9)
same second eq. will be
(8X+7Y)/15 = 40 (here divided by 15 because 8+7 = 15).
so two equations are
4X+5Y = 270......(1)
8X+7Y = 600......(2)
after solving
X=17.5 (cost of one apple)
Y=20

- 4A+5M=60 - 8A+10M=120
8A+7M=80 8A+ 7M=80
On solving A=4/3,m=40/3
now 24M+24A=24x(4/3)+24x(40/3)=32+320=352 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(6)
- 4a+5m=30 => 8a+10m=60 ......(1)
8a+7m=40 => 16a+14m=80 .....(2)
add (1) & (2)
24a+24m=60+80=140 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- ans is 140
let no. of apples be 'a' and no. of mangoes be 'm'
4a+5m=30....eq 1
8a+7m=40...eq 2
multiply eq 1 by 2 we get 8a+10m=60
subtract eq 1 from eq 2.
we get m=20/3 and a=-5/6
put it in 24a+24m.. we get 140 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- avg cost of 4 apples and 5 mangoes , 4+5=9 --> 9*30=270
avg cost of 8 apples and 7 mangoes, 8+7=15 -->15*40=600
Total cost for 12 apples and 12 mangoes, 270+600=870.
now, for 24 apples and 24 mangoes = 2*870= 1740 is answer. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- mahendra nikhade uh know the answer?
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- sorry before finishing it has submitted.
so
X=17.5(cost of one apple)
Y=20(cost of one mango)
cost of 24 apple = 17.5*24= 420
cost of 24 mangoes 20*24=480
so total cost = 420 + 480 = 900 Rs. ..........ANS. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
- there again calculation mistake.
Y = 40.
so 24*40 = 960.
so ans became 420+960= 1380............ANS.
apologize for mistakes. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
- ans is 1740

- the cost of 4 apples and 5 mangos =30
8 apples and 7 mangos =40
12 apples and 12 mangos=70
24 apples and 24 mangos =140 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- average cost of 4 A & 5 M =30
then total cost = 30*9=270
average cost of 8 A & 7 M =40
then total cost =40*15=600
total cost of 12 A & 12 M=270+600=870
total cost of 24 A & 24 M=870*2=1740

- 1apple=rs.6.67 and 1 mango=rs -0.833 so
(24*6.67)+(24*(-0.833))=140 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 4 apples+5 mangoes=9 fruits
cost= 9*30=270 Rs
8 apples+ 7 mangoes=15 fruits
cost=15*40=600 Rs
Total fruits=9+15=24
total cost for 24 fruits=270+600=870 Rs
For 24 apples and 24 mangoes cost will be
2*870=1740 Rs - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- TAKE TWO SOLUTIONS
4X+5Y=30,8X+7Y=40 SOLVE WE GET X ,Y
y=6.66,x=15.825 for an apple and a mangoo
for 24 apples=379.8rs.for 24 mangoe =159.8rs
total=540 rs - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Ans is:1740
(4 apples+5 mangoes)/9=30 4 apples+5 mangoes=270 (I)
(8 apples+7 mangoes)/15=40 8 apples+7 mangoes=600 (II)
solving I & II we get
apple = 92.5 & mangoe = -20
then 24 apples+24 mangoes=24*92.5 + 24 *(-20)=1740 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- total cost of 12 apple and 12 mangoe=270+600=870
so total cost of 24 apple and 24 mangoes =870*2=1740 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
