Find the area of the parallelogram bdkj

$0.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say an orange costs O dollars and a grapefuit costs G dollars.

We add G dollars for each grapefuit and O dollars for each orange, so, for example, 12 grapefuit = G added 12 times = 12 *G = 12G

a.

6G = 10O

12G + 24O = 12

6 grapefuit = 6G = 10 oranges = 10O

b.

6G = 10O

12G + 24O = 12

We can solve this using substitution. First, we can solve the first equation for G. After that, we can plug that into the second to find O and go from there.

6G = 10O

divide both sides by 6 to remove the coefficient for G

G = (10/6)O

plug that into the second equation

12*(10/6)O + 24O = 12

20O + 24O = 12

44O = 12

divide both sides by 44 to solve for O

O=12/44 = 6/22

6G = 10O

6G = 60/22

divide both sides by 6 to solve for G

10/22 = G

c.

These solutions mean that an orange (O) costs 6/22 dollars and a grapefuit (G) costs 10/22, so 1O + 1G = 16/22 dollars ≈ $0.73. Note that O and G are kept as fractions because they are not exact dollar amounts, e.g. 0.27 repreating
