Is there any FReeper Math whizzes that can help us?

[GOP Poet]

hell no netmilsmom. Don’t look at me. LOL. I am sure there are a few around here. After all a good capitalist is good with numbers and vice versa.

[1rudeboy]

I hate pop quizzes.

[jabchae]

I don't know what you mean by "solve it with NO integers."

Also, you don't say what the problem is. Are you supposed to determine the prices of the items?

[mamelukesabre]

simultaneous equations

[MIchaelTArchangel]

“Is” is singular. “Whizzes” is plural. There ain’t no hope for y’all ‘cause y’all can’t count to one!

[tutstar]

this will be educating..

[mamelukesabre]

define variables

SP=sweet potatoes
O=onions
A=apples

[ottbmare]

in this problem, onions cost $.60/lb (which I personally think is cheap depending on whether they’re Vidalias or regular onions).

[netmilsmom]

I am too stupid to figure it out without at least ONE number.

We made Sweet Potatoes =S
Onions = O
And Apples = A

Without the cost of any of the produce, I don’t get it.
And yes they want the cost of each kind of produce.

Do I make sense?

[netmilsmom]

LOL!
Thanks for giving it a shot anyway!

I’ll give you an A anyway for admitting you don’t like quizzes.

[tsmith130]

The train will arrive at the station at 3:10.

[Catphish]

Let A be the cost of a pound of apples, S the cost for a pound of sweet potatos, N be the cost for a pound of onions.

Then make the equations: 9S = 6A, S = 2N, A = .24 + N.

Then just plug A of the third equation into the first equation, then the resulting S in terms of N into the second and you are done.

You need this to make it complete:

Pennies = P

[acad1228]

I was told there would be no math.

[willgolfforfood]

I can solve it.

Always glad to help!

[Dysart]

Sure. Grow your own and you won’t have all this infernal ciphering to contented with. Problem solved.

You are absolutely correct.
I’m a dork, but it’s my poor kid who needs help.

Have mercy, please.
