A farmer picked 600 portugals and oranges in total to be sold to the market. There are 3 times as many oranges as there are portugals. How many portugals are picked by the farmer?

450 portugals

Step-by-step explanation:

in this question, we are tasked with calculating the number of portugals which are picked by the farmer

Firstly, let the number of portugals picked be p and the number of oranges picked be r.

Thus;

p + r = 600 ••••••••••(i)

Secondly there are 3 times as many oranges as there are portugals;

That would be;

3 * r = p

3r = p. •••••••••(ii)

substitute ii into i

3r + r = 600

4r = 600

r = 600/4

r = 150

P = 3r

p = 3 * 150 = 450

from the figure we get,

the x axis shows   the months and,

the y-axis shows the number of satisfied customer.

each line or each cell in upward direction (y-axis) shows 500.

the appropriate scale for the y - axis is: -

a = 2000 customers

b = 4000 customers

c = 6000 customers

d = 8000 customers

e = 10000 customers

f = 12000 customers

g = 14000 customers

ask the math teacher she or he would know lol.
