Tim bought some papayas and oranges from a fruit stall. 2 papayas cost as much as 6 oranges. He paid $19 for 5 papayas and 5 oranges. What was the cost of 1 papaya?
Given 1 papaya $x
So 1 orange: 2x / 6 = 1/3x
5x + 5/3x = 19
20/3x = 19
x = 57/20
So $57/20 = $2.80
The cost of 1 papaya is $2.80
you should calculate carefully
