Answer:

You can buy about 7 pounds of apples.

Explanation:

Since we're dealing with cents, we'll change 88 to 0.88 so we can solve.

I personally did 0.88p = 6, where p = pounds, and then I divided 0.88 on both sides.

Of course you could just divide normally,

6 ÷ 0.88, either way it equals 6.81 repeating.

When you round that up, it will equal to 7.

Hope this helps :)
