Question

Now answer the question:

Claire and her children went into a grocery store and she bought $8 worth of apples
and bananas. Each apple costs $1 and each banana costs $0.50. She bought a total of
11 apples and bananas altogether. Determine the number of apples, x, and the
number of bananas, y, that Claire bought.

Answer 1

So if she bought a total of $8 worth that means there is more than one possibility but it says apples and bananas total but I’m gonna do more than that

For a total of $8 she could by 16 bananas and 0 apples

For $8 she could by 8 apples and zero bananas

For $8 she could by 4 apples and 8 bananas
