An apple orchard sells apples in bags of 10. The orchard sold a total of 2,430 apples one day. How many bags of apples was this?

Asked by Diazismael614

Answer (3)

1 bag = 10 apples, therefore:
x bags = 2430 apples
2430 / 10 = 243 bags
243 bags were old by the orchard.

this was 243 bags of apples ; For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of apple bags
y: total number of apples
We now write the equation that models the problem.
We have then:
y = 10 x
Substituting for y = 2430 we have:
2430 = 10 x
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
[ x = \frac{2430}{10}
x = 243 ]

The orchard sold 243 bags of apples. This was calculated by dividing the total number of apples, 2,430, by the number of apples in each bag, which is 10. Therefore, the number of bags is x = 10 2430 ​ = 243 .
