Mia and her children went into a grocery store and where they sell apples for $2 each and mangos for $1.50 each. Mia has $20 to spend and must buy no less than 9 apples and mangos altogether. If Mia decided to buy 3 mangos, determine the maximum number of apples that she could buy.

Respuesta :

Answer:

7.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is mentioned that Mia has decided to purchase 3 mangos so she incurred $1.50 × 3 = $4.5 on mangoes.

The total amount incurred is $20 and the spent amount is $4.50

So, the remaining amount left is

= $20 - $4.50

= $15.5

Now the maximum number of apples is

= $15.5 ÷ 2

= 7.75

Hence, the maximum no of apples he could purchase is 7.75
