Answer:

The total for the housewife's purchase should be 60 dollars. So it should be the vender who owes her money. The vender owes her 15 dollars.

Explanation:

$5 = 1kg (eddoes) meaning a total of 2kg eddos =$10

$10 = 1kg (chicken) meaning a total of 5kg chicken = $50

When added together, it'd be 60 dollars.

(I'm not sure if you maybe forgot a part of the question or only had this part)
