Ashley is picking apples. She fills two baskets with apples and puts 5 apples in her pockets. The larger basket holds 35 more apples than the smaller one holds. If Ashely picks a total of 122 apples, how many apples does the larger basket hold ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

amount of apples in the small basket = x

5 + (35+x) +x = 122

40+ 2x = 122

2x = 122-42

2x = 82

x =82÷2

x =41

amount in larger basket = 41 + 35

= 76
