Kiran sells f full boxes and h half-boxes of fruit to raise money for a band trip. He earns $5 for each full box and $2 for each half-box of fruit he sells and earns a total of $100 toward the cost of his band trip. The equation 5f+2h=100 describes this relationship. Solve the equation for f.

The required value of f is 16.67.

Given that ;

Kiran sells full box of fruit cost for each box = f = $5

And Kiran sells half box of fruit cost for each = h = $2

According to the question ;

For full box cost  + for half box cost = Total cost of his band trip

5f + 2h = 100

Solve the equation following equation for f .

5f + 2h = 100

Subtract 2h from both sides

5f + 2h - 2h = 100 - 2h

5f = 100 - 2h

Divide both sides by 5

f = 20-2h

For full box f = 1 full box

For half box h = 1 half box

It means h = of f

h =

Substitute the value of h  

5f = 100 - f

5f + f = 100

6f = 100

f = 16.67

The required value of f is 16.67.

f = (100 - 2h) / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

5f + 2h = 100

Solve the equation for f.

5f + 2h = 100

Subtract 2h from both sides

5f + 2h - 2h = 100 - 2h

5f = 100 - 2h

Divide both sides by 5

5f / 5 = (100 - 2h) / 5

f = (100 - 2h) / 5

If f = 1 full box

h = 1/2 box

h = 1/2 of f

h = 1/2f

Substitute h = 1/2f into

f = (100 - 2h) / 5

f = {100 - 2(1/2f)} / 5

f = (100 - 2/2f) / 5

5f = 100 - f

5f + f = 100

6f = 100

f = 100 / 6

= 16.67

f = 16.67

to determine the unit cost your would divide the total cost by the number sold.
