Question

A basket of oranges cost 20$ a basket of pairs cost 30$ and a basket of kiwi fruit cost 40$ 8 baskets of these fruits were purchased for 230 dollars what is the largest possible number of baskets of kiwi fruit that were purchased.

Answer 1

3 baskets of kiwi fruit is the most you could get

Answer explained:

3 kiwi baskets multiplied by its $40 price = $120

3 x 40 = $120

4 baskets of oranges multiplied by it’s $20 price = $80

4 x 20 = $80

1 basket of pears multiplied by it’s $30 price = $30

1 x 30 = $30

Add all of these totals together and you get $230 which is the amount you spent and your 8 baskets of fruit!

$120 + $80 + $30 = $230

I hope this helps!!
