Math Problem Statement

A grocery store sells a bag of 6 oranges for $2.34. If Mav spent $1.95 on oranges, how many did she buy?

Solution

Let's work through the problem step by step.

The problem states:

  • A grocery store sells a bag of 6 oranges for $2.34.
  • Mav spent $1.95 on oranges.
  • We need to determine how many oranges Mav bought for $1.95.

Step 1: Price per orange

First, we calculate the price of one orange: Price per orange=2.346=0.39 dollars per orange.\text{Price per orange} = \frac{2.34}{6} = 0.39 \text{ dollars per orange}.

Step 2: Number of oranges Mav bought

Next, we determine how many oranges Mav can buy with $1.95: Number of oranges=1.950.39=5 oranges.\text{Number of oranges} = \frac{1.95}{0.39} = 5 \text{ oranges}.

So, Mav bought 5 oranges.

Do you need any further details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:

  1. If Mav spent $2.34 again, how many oranges could she buy?
  2. If the price of 6 oranges increased to $3.00, how much would one orange cost?
  3. How much would 8 oranges cost at the current rate of $0.39 per orange?
  4. If Mav had $3.90, how many oranges could she buy at this price?
  5. If the store offered a discount, selling 10 oranges for $3.50, how much would Mav pay for 5 oranges?

Tip: When working with proportional reasoning problems, always begin by calculating the unit rate or unit price.
