There is a basket containing 5 apples. The cost of the basket is $\$2$, and the cost of the whole basket with apples is $\$12$. Find the cost of each apple.

The correct option is B $\$2$
Number of apples in the basket “ n” = 5
Cost of the whole basket with apples $“c”=\$12$
Cost of the basket $“a”=\$2$
Let x be the cost of one apple.
Hence,
Cost of the basket = Number of apples Cost of one apple + Cost of the basket
$c=nx+a$
$12=5x+2$
$12-2=5x$
$5x=10$
$x=\frac{10}{5}$
$x=\$2$
