Brian bought x apples and some oranges. Brian bought 3 more oranges than apples.

a. Find the total number of fruit Brian bought in terms of x.

2 (X+3)

b. Find that total amount of money, in cents, that Brian spent on the fruit. Give answer in terms of X.

90X+150

c. If Brian could have bought exactly 12 pears with the amount of money that was spent on the apples and oranges, find the cost of each pear, in cents, in terms of x.

Apples are. 40 and Oranges are. 50

a) Total number of fruit Brian bought in terms of x = 2x+3

b) Total money spent by Brian on the fruit = 0.9x+1.5

c) cost of each pear = (0.9x+1.5) / 12

Step-by-step explanation:

As provided Brian got "x" apples and unknown quantity of oranges. However, amount of oranges bought was 3 more than apples

a). Hence the total number of fruit Brian bought in terms of x = no of apple + no of oranges

=x+x+3 (since he brought 3 oranges than apples. If apple is "x", then oranges = "x+3")

=2x+3

b). Total money spent by Brian on the fruit.

Total amount spent on apples = (cost of one apple * no of apples) + (cost of one orange * no of oranges)

Given Apples cost. 40 and Oranges. 50

=.4x+.5 (x+3)

=0.9x+1.5

c). cost of 12 pears matches the total cost of the apples and oranges-

cost of each pear = total money spent on apples and oranges/no of pears bought

= (0.9x+1.5) / 12
