    The answer to your question is: 1 bag of apples cost $6.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We need to write an equation:

    1 bag of apples + 3 cartons of strawberries = $18

    but 1 bag of apples = 1.5 cartons of strawberries

    So

    1.5 cartons of strawberries + 3 cartons of strawberries = $18

    simplify 4.5 cartons of strawberries = 18

    1 carton of strawberries = 18 / 4.5 = 4

    finally 1 bag of apples = 1.5 (4) = 6
