1. In a supermarket, each orange costs $3, and each apple costs $2. If you want to spend
exactly $45, write an equation in standard form modeling this situation. Let o represent
the number of oranges you buy, and a represent the number of apples you buy.

First I divided 45 by 3 and I got 15 so now I know that 15 is the highest amount of oranges I can buy without going over $45. I also know that 15 cannot be an answer because I also have to buy apples.

Then I divided 45 by 2 and 22 was the highest whole number.

Now I would play trial and error BUT i know that the number for oranges have to be less that 15 and the number for apples has to be less than 22.

3 times 9 equals 27 (oranges)

45 - 27 = 18

2 times 9 equals 18 (apples)
