Question

Ms. Gregg spent $14 buying fruit

• Apples cost $2 per pound
• Bananas cost $1 per pound.
• What are some possible amounts of pounds of apples and
bananas that Ms. Gregg could have bought?

Answer 1

Ms. Gregg could buy 4 apples and 6 bananas

Explanation:

You can split the money and try to get even on each fruit by, getting 4 apples which would be 8 dollars on 4 apples then the extra money would be left over for the bananas which would be six dollars and since the bananas are only 1 dollar you can buy 6 with the leftover money.
