Answer:
$0.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the apple be represented by A and the orange B
Apple and orange together cost $1.10
That’s A + B = $1.10
The apple cost $1 more than the orange .
That’s A = B + 1
We now have two equations
A + B = 1.10
A = B + 1
Substitute B + 1 for A in equation one
We have B + 1 + B = 1.10
B + B + 1 = 1.10
2B + 1 = 1.10
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation
2B + 1 - 1 = 1.10 - 1
2B = 0.1
Divide both sides by 2
2B/2 = 0.1/2
B = 0.05
The orange cost $0.05
