The question is incomplete:
Donovan spent $5.75 at the fruit stand. He bought 3 apples and 2 oranges. He spent the rest of the money on bananas. The image with the price per fruit is attached. How many bananas did Donovan buy?
A. 1 banana
B. 2 bananas
C. 3 bananas
D. 4 bananas
Answer:
D. 4 bananas
Explanation:
First, you have to consider that the total amount paid is equal to adding up the results of multiplying the price for each fruit for the number of fruits purchased which would be:
Total cost=(3*0.75)+(2*1.25)+0.25x, x is the number of bananas
Total cost=2.25+2.5+0.25x
Now, you can replace the total cost with 5.75 that is the amount Donovan spent and solve for x:
5.75=2.25+2.5+0.25x
5.75-2.25-2.5=0.25x
1=0.25x
x=1/0.25
According to this, the answer is that Donovan bought 4 bananas.
