Problema Solution
Susie buys 4 muffins and 3 bananas. Calvin buys 2 muffins and 16 bananas. If Calvin spent twice as much money as Susie, then how more expensive are the muffins?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
m = the cost per muffin
b = the cot per banana
2m + 16b = 2(4m + 3b)
by solving for m we find:
m = (5/3)b
m = 1.667b
click here to see the step by step solution of the equation:
m = 1.667b means the muffins are by 66.7% more expensive than the bananas.
