Answer:

The average cost of one mango = c = ₦8

Explanation:

Let 'c' be the average cost of one mango

The original amount Idahtonye has = ₦50.00

The amount of mangoes Idahtonye buys = 6 mangoes

As he gets back the change of ₦2 after paying ₦50.00 to buy 5 mangoes.

Thus the equation becomes

50 - 2 = 6c

48 = 6c

dividing both sides by 6

48/6 = 6c/6

c = 8 ₦

Therefore, the average cost of one mango = c = ₦8
