Sandeep visited Green Glen Apple Orchard yesterday. He picked a basket of fresh apples in the field. He also got 3 pounds of pre-picked apples at the farm stand because they were overripe and perfect for making applesauce. The farm charges \( \$ 4 \) a pound for apples, regardless of whether they're fresh or pre-picked. Sandeep paid \( \$ 30 \) in all. Which equation can you use to find \( f \), the number of pounds of fresh apples Sandeep picked? \[ 4 f+3=30 \] \[ 4(f+3)=30 \] How many pounds of fresh apples did Sandeep pick? Write your answer as a whole number or a decimal. I pounds I \( f+4)=30 \)

To figure out how many pounds of fresh apples Sandeep picked, we can start with the correct equation. The setup tells us that each pound of either fresh or pre-picked apples costs $4. Since he bought 3 pounds of pre-picked apples, we can write: \[ 4f + 4 \times 3 = 30 \] This simplifies to \( 4f + 12 = 30 \). Now, subtracting 12 from both sides gives us \( 4f = 18 \). Finally, dividing by 4 reveals that \( f = 4.5 \) pounds. So, Sandeep picked 4.5 pounds of fresh apples! Apples never tasted so sweet! 🍏
