PLEASE HELP!

Samantha and her children went into a grocery store and she bought $7 worth of bananas and peaches. Each banana costs $0.40 and each peach costs $0.50. She bought a total of 15 bananas and peaches altogether. Determine the number of bananas and the number of peaches that Samantha bought.

Answer 1

So the banana cost $0.40 and the peach $0.50

To make exact amount of $7 that she spend.

0.50 x10= $5 so she bought 10 peaches
0.40 x 5= $2 and she bought 5 bananas

5+2= $7
10+5= 15 all together
