Answer:

9

Explanation:

We are given that

Cost of each banana=$0.90

Cost of each orange=$0.80

Ava have total money=$15

We have to find the number of each if Ava wants to buy an equal amount of bananas and oranges at most.

Let x be the number of each.

According to question


0.9x+0.8x=15


1.7x=15


x=(15)/(1.7)


x=8.8\approx 9


x=9(approximately)

Hence, number of banana bought=9

Number of oranges bought=9
