Problem 6

Bananas cost $1.50 per pound, and guavas cost $3.00 per pound. Kiran spends $12 on fruit for a breakfast his family is hosting. Let \(b\) be the number of pounds of bananas Kiran buys and \(g\) be the number of pounds of guavas he buys.

  1. Write an equation relating the two variables.
  2. Rearrange the equation so \(b\) is the independent variable.
  3. Rearrange the equation so \(g\) is the independent variable.
