Answer:

Keys would have to spend $6.60 on apples for both days.

Explanation:

Keys went to buy 5 apples and 2 oranges for $3.45 and 7 apples and 3 oranges for $4.90 .

We have to find how much money she spends on apples on both the days.

Let price of apples be x and oranges be y.

We have to make equations and solve them to find the price of oranges and apples.

5x + 2y = 3.45

7x + 3y = 4.90

Solve both these equations to find x and y.

We get x= $0.55 and y = $0.35

Key has bought 12 apples and it would cost = 12
* 0.55

= $6.60
