hay wongo maths the only questions you answer

Nah he answers Excel questions too, as long as I don't beat him to it

[SPIRIT]

milk = 0.6 + fruit
roll = 0.3 + milk = 0.3 + 0.6 + fruit

fruit + milk + roll = 3

3*fruit + 1.5 = 3

fruit = $0.5

therefore milk = $1.1 and roll = $1.4

told you l didn't say it

mary spends 3.00$ ,
the roll is 30cents more than the milk the milk is 60cents more than the fruit, how much is the roll

here goes
milk = fruit + 60¢
roll = milk + 30¢
therefor roll = (fruit + 60) + 30 = fruit + 90¢

Mary spent 300¢, she bought roll + milk + fruit
substitute terms
(fruit + 90) + (fruit + 60) + fruit = 300
3 x fruit + 150 = 300
3 x fruit = 150, so fruit = 50¢
so the roll was 50 + 90 = $1.40 and the milk = $1.10

check roll + milk + fruit = $1.40 + $1.10+ $0.50 = $3.00



do I get the piece fruit??
