This doesn't make sense because the answer is not any of these choices.
If they cost $1.00 each and you have $15.00 that buys you 15 apples
3 wrappers will get you another apple
you will get 15 wrappers. 15 wrappers
3wrappersx5apples=15wrappers total
So you get 5 apples plus the 15 apples=20 apples total
