Answer:
6 papayas and 11 pineapples
Explanation:
So, we need to find an answer of how many papayas and pineapples she bought, and we only spent $48.
So, papayas are $2.50 each, and Pineapples are $3.00 each and we only bought 17 fruits total.
lets try 8 papayas, and 9 Pineapples.
$2.50 x 8 = $20.00 total on Papayas
$3.00 x 9 = $27.00 total on Pineapples.
That would only be $47 spent total.
Lets try 10 papayas and 7 pineapples.
$2.50 x 10 = $25.00
$3.00 x 7 = $21.00
That would only be a total of $26 spent.
Lets try 6 papayas and 11 pineapples.
$2.50 x 6 = $15.00
$3.00 x 11 = $33.00
This would be a total of $48 spent.
