    Each apple cost $1.12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total amount spent is the sum of the amounts spent on oranges added to the amount spent on apples. Given that Ben bought 3 oranges for 89 cents each, amount spent on oranges

    = 3 * $0.89

    = $2.67

    If Ben bought 4 apples for x dollars each, amount spent on apples

    = 4x

    Total amount spent is $7.15

    2.67 + 4x = 7.15

    4x = 7.15 - 2.67

    4x = 4.48

    x = $1.12

    Multiply 3x. 89 to get how much he spent on the oranges which would be $2.67 then subtract 7.15 from 2.67 7.15-2.67 = which is 4.48, meaning he bought 4 apples for $4.48 divide this by 4 to solve for how much 1 apple costs which is $1.12
