Question

Noah and his children went into a grocery store and where they sell apples for $1 each and mangos for $2 each. Noah has $20 to spend and must buy at least 9 apples and mangos altogether. If Noah decided to buy 4 apples, determine the maximum number of mangos that he could buy. If there are no possible solutions, submit an empty answer.

Answer 1

8 Mangoes

Explanation:

Since he decides to buy 4 apples, that would cost him: 4 × $1 = $4

That leaves him: $20 - $4 = $16.

So, how many mangoes can Noah possibly buy with $16?

That is: $16/$2 = 8(We divide by $2 because it is the cost of one mango)
