Answer: How Much Does the Farmer Get From the Sale of 10 Baskets?

Step-by-step explanation: If the greatest common divisor of 78 artichokes and 90 courgettes is 6, then the farmer can form at most 6 baskets with the same number of artichokes and courgettes. Therefore, the answer is $6.

If each artichoke is sold for €0.70 and each courgette is sold for €0.40, then the revenue from one basket is (0.70 * 6) + (0.40 * 6) = €6.60. The revenue from 10 baskets is 10 * €6.60 = €66.

Converting this to USD at the current exchange rate of 1 EUR = 1.18 USD, the revenue from 10 baskets is approximately $78.
