If 3 apples cost 19 cents, how many apples can be purchased for $1.52?

To determine how many apples can be purchased for $1.52 if 3 apples cost 19 cents, follow these steps:

1. **Find the cost of one apple:**
  - 3 apples cost 19 cents.
  - Therefore, the cost of one apple is \(\frac{19 \text{ cents}}{3}\).

  \[
  \text{Cost of one apple} = \frac{19}{3} \approx 6.33 \text{ cents per apple}
  \]

2. **Convert $1.52 to cents:**
  - $1.52 = 152 cents.

3. **Calculate how many apples can be bought with 152 cents:**
  - Divide the total amount of money (in cents) by the cost of one apple.

  \[
  \text{Number of apples} = \frac{152 \text{ cents}}{6.33 \text{ cents per apple}} \approx 24
  \]

So, with $1.52, you can purchase approximately **24 apples**.

in the question there was a rate of 3 apples costr 19 cents

now 1 dollar = 100 cents

so total = 1.52 x 100 = 152 cents

now the number of apples( number x 3) = 152/ 19

= 8

so total number of apples = 8 x 3

= 24 apples
