Ryan, Alec and Amani went to ShopRite to buy boxes of fruit. Ryan bought 2 boxes of strawberries, 1 box of apples, and 4 boxes of blueberries for $34. Alec bought 3 boxes of strawberries, 2 boxes of apples, and 2 boxes of blueberries for $35. Amani bought 5 boxes of strawberries, 3 boxes of apples, and 2 boxes of blueberries for $49. How much does an individual box of strawberries, apples, and blueberries cost?

Answer:

5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to add all the number of baskets Ryan bought first. The equation should look something like this;

34÷(2+1+3)

Our answer is 4.8571428571. However, to put it in simplest terms, we can just say 4.85.

Now, we just keep changing up the numbers but with the same division we were using for Ryan's price on the fruit.

Alec's: 35÷(3+2+2)=5

Amani's: 49÷(5+3+2)=4.9

Notice how all the answers we get answers related to 5. If we all round the numbers, we actually get 5!

So, I believe your answer is 5. I'm terribly sorry if I'm incorrect. (If I am, I will try to fix it in the comments for you)
