Stephanie has two types of apples to sell today at the
family's
road side stand. Her mother told her to sell the McIntosh apples at 3 for
40¢ and the Delicious apples at 2 for 40¢. There are 60 of each
kind, but Stephanie can't tell them apart. She decides that she will mix
the apples together and sell them all for the same price. What price should
Stephanie charge so that she will make the same amount of money after selling
all the apples?
