You gave $50 dollars for oranges and were only handed 15, how much was it per orange?

Question

Sally gave the store $70 for pineapple to put in her fruit salad, she was given 15, she wants to know how much it was per pineapple at this s

Answer 1

If you were given 15 oranges and the whole $50 was used, then each orange may have cost 50/15=10/3=$3.33 each. But the oranges may have been charged by weight rather than quantity.

If she was given 15 pineapples for $70, then each pineapple may have cost 70/15=14/3=$4.66.
