Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Caitlin buys twice as many apples as oranges.

[tex]2a=o[/tex]

Apples cost 0.25 and Oranges cost 0.30, we have a maximum of 5 to spend.

[tex]5-2a(0.30)-0.25a=0[/tex]

[tex]5=2a(0.30)-0.25a\\5=0.6a-0.25a\\5=0.35a\\a=14[/tex]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25x+0.3x*1/2x<5

0.25x+0.15x<5

0.4x<5

x<12.5

hence it is 12

and by < i mean greater than equal
