Homework

A crate contains 18 plums, 27 apricots, and 36 nuts. How many pieces of fruit are left in the crate after Peter takes 1/6 of each of the following:

1. nuts
2. apricots
3. all fruit
4. stone fruit

Final Answer:

a =  45
b =  27
c =  15
d =  15

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} n=18+27+36=81 \\ a=18+27=45 \end{gathered}$$

$b=a-\frac{6}{9}\cdot 27=45-\frac{6}{9}\cdot 27=27$

$c=a-\frac{6}{9}\cdot a=45-\frac{6}{9}\cdot 45=15$

$d=a-\frac{6}{9}\cdot a=45-\frac{6}{9}\cdot 45=15$
