Answer: Each orange costs 84 cents.

Explanation:

If there are 7 oranges sold for 5.88 we can divide them to find the cost of one. Once you complete 5.88/7. You get .84, meaning 84 cents. Each orange costs .84.

If they want an actual dollar value, you wouldn't get an exact amount. If you gave a dollar, you'd get one orange and .16 cents back.
