The difference between the price of an orange and the price of a pear equals the price of a banana. If the total cost of an orange and a pear is $120 and a pear costs $90, calculate the total price of buying 200 bananas and twice as many oranges as bananas.
How much does an orange cost? ** If the total cost of an orange and a pear is $120, and a pear costs $90, an orange costs $120-$90 = $<<120-90=30>>30
How much does a banana cost? ** Since the difference between the price of an orange and a pear is the price of a banana, a banana is sold at $90-$30 = $<<90-30=60>>60
How much will you pay for 200 bananas? ** To buy 200 bananas, you'll pay $60*200 = $<<60*200=12000>>12000
How many oranges will you buy? ** When you twice as many oranges as bananas, you buy 2*200 = <<2*200=400>>400 oranges.
How much will you pay for 400 oranges? ** The total cost of buying 400 oranges is 400*30 = $<<400*30=12000>>12000
What is the total cost of buying 200 bananas and twice as many oranges as bananas? ** The total price of buying 200 bananas and twice as many oranges as bananas is $12000+$12000 = $24000
