Question

Add a grocery store bananas cost $.90 each and oranges cost $.80 each Ava has $15 to spend if Ava wants to buy an equal amount of bananas and oranges at most how many of each can't you buy

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

We are given that

Cost of each banana=$0.90

Cost of each orange=$0.80

Ava have total money=$15

We have to find the number of each if Ava wants to buy an equal amount of bananas and oranges at most.

Let x be the number of each.

According to question

`0.9x+0.8x=15`

`1.7x=15`

`x=(15)/(1.7)`

`x=8.8\approx 9`

`x=9(approximately)`

Hence, number of banana bought=9

Number of oranges bought=9
