Frankies Fruit Market is having an unusual sale. He is allowing fruit retailers to come in and buy his fruit with their own.
Here are his prices:
4 mangoes=3 kumquats
3 persimmons=2 bananas
7 gooseberrries=1 lime
1 persimmon=1 apple
14 gooseberries=1 banana
1. Sam comes to spend 15 kumquats. How ,amy mangoes can he buy?
2. Suppose Sam decides to buy an equal number of apples and persimmons with his 15 kumquats. How many of each can he buy?
3. Sally has 100 gooseberries and wants to buy a combination of at least 3 different fruits. List a possible choice. ( she may have left over gooseberries)
4. Andy has 20 bananas. How many limes can he buy? How many mangoes can he buy?
5. Georgia has 30 kumquats. how many persimmons can she buy?
6. An apple and a persimmon are obviously worth the same. Which fruits are worth more than these two?
Which fruits are worth less than these two?
7. Let p=persimmon, a=apple, m=mango, k=kumquat, b=banana, g=gooseberry, and l=lime. Write a simple algebraic equations to show how many p each of the other fruits equal. For example, you would write 1p=1a. Now write statements for each of the other fruits.

Do I need to show my work??? lol
1) 15/3 = 5 purchase x 4 per purcahse = !!!!20 mangos!!!!
2) He cant, there is no way he can exchange his kumquats for apples or persimmons.
3) 4 bannanas, 3 persimmons, 1 lime, 9 gooseberrises left over
4) 20 x14 = 280/7 = !!!!!40 limes!!!!!!
And he cant buy any mangoes because there is no method of
exchange he can pursue.
5) She cant buy any, because there is no method of
exchange she can use.
6) Worth more; bannanas (3p = 2b)
Worth less; gooseberries (3p = 28gb), and limes (3p = 4L)
7) Cool did this a little in the last one
(n = unknown conversion coefficent)
3p = 2b
3p = 28g
3p = 4L
1p = 1a
1p = Nm
1p = Nk
