Answer: $120

Explanation:

Step 1: Find how many 1 person gets (pineapples per person)

48 pineapples divided by 2 people= 48÷2= 24 pineapples each.

Step 2: Money made by 1 person

He has 24 pineapples to sell because that's how many he is supposed to receive. he sells all of them for $5 each, so the total money he makes is 5x24= $120

Checks:

120÷24= 5

the pineapples are 5 dollars each (this is correct).

Hope this helps!
