(Bananas= 40p Each)

(pls add working out)

Answer 1

He buys 18 apples = £1.08
He can buy 9 bananas

Answer 2

Apples: 23 , bananas = 9

Explanation:

Apples = 18 x 6 = 108p = 1,08£

5-1,08 = 3,92£

£3,92 = 392p

Bananas = 392 : 40 = 9,8= 9

40x9 = 360p = 3,60£

change = 3,92 -3,60 = 32p

apples = 32 : 6 = 5,33 = 5

total apples = 23
