Answer 1

If you go to the first store you will get 50 lemons for the next 5 days and you will waste $5 because the lemons cost $1 each. (After the offer ends it will coast $0.20 each)

The second store you will get 100 for $10 for the next six days so it will be $60 all together from all the days.

Explanation:

Party in six days

1st store sales 10 lemons for $1 for the next 5 days

After the sale ends the store will cost $0.20 each at jewels store

They sell 100 lemons for $10 for the next six day
