Answer:
50 was the specific number of cases of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number of cases of apples and y be the number of cases of banana.
As per the statement:
At Shaw's Market apples cost $10 per case and bananas cost $6 per case
⇒Cost of x cases of apples = 10 x and Cost of y cases of apples = 6 y
If an order comes in for a total of 300 cases
⇒[tex]x+y = 300[/tex] ....[1]
It is also given that total cost for the cases of apple and banana is, $2000
⇒[tex]10x +6y = 2000[/tex] ....[2]
Multiply equation [1] by 6 both sides we get;
[tex]6x+6y = 1800[/tex] .....[3]
Subtract [3] from [2] to get eliminate y:
[tex]10x+6y-6x-6y = 2000-1800[/tex]
Combine like terms;
[tex]4x = 200[/tex]
Divide both sides by 4 we get;
x = 50
Therefore, the number of cases of apples are: 50
