Q. Meena and her children went into a grocery store where they sell bananas for

\$ 0.70

each and mangos for

\$ 1.50

each. Meena has

\$ 15

to spend and must buy no less than

10

bananas and mangos altogether. If Meena decided to buy

6

mangos, determine the maximum number of bananas that she could buy.

\newline

Answer:

Calculate total cost of mangos: Calculate the total cost of $6$ mangos. $\newline$ Mangos cost $\$1.50$ each. $\newline$ Total cost for $6$ mangos = $6 \times \$1.50$ . $\newline$ Total cost for $6$ mangos = $\$9.00$ .
Subtract cost from total amount: Subtract the cost of $6$ mangos from the total amount Meena has. $\newline$ Meena has $\$15$ to spend. $\newline$ Amount remaining after buying $6$ mangos = $\$15 - \$9.00$ . $\newline$ Amount remaining = $\$6.00$ .
Calculate maximum number of bananas: Calculate the maximum number of bananas Meena can buy with the remaining amount. $\newline$ Bananas cost $\$0.70$ each. $\newline$ Maximum number of bananas = Amount remaining / Cost per banana. $\newline$ Maximum number of bananas = $\$6.00 / \$0.70$ . $\newline$ Maximum number of bananas = $8.57$ , but Meena can only buy whole bananas. $\newline$ Maximum number of bananas = $8$ .
Check total number of fruits: Check if the total number of fruits Meena buys is at least $10$ . $\newline$ Total fruits $=$ Number of mangos $+$ Number of bananas. $\newline$ Total fruits $= 6 + 8$ . $\newline$ Total fruits $= 14$ .
Confirm Meena's fruit purchase: Confirm that Meena can buy $8$ bananas along with $6$ mangos and still meet the requirement of buying at least $10$ fruits in total. $\newline$ Since $14$ is greater than $10$ , the requirement is met.
