Answer:
One fruit kabob and one smoothie
Two fruits kabobs and two smoothies
Three fruit kabobs and one smoothie
One fruit kabob and two smoothies
Explanation:
In this situation, the basic combination John can afford is simply to buy one fruit kabob and one smoothie ( $1.75 + $ 2.50 = $4.25) because he wants at least one unit of each item. Additionally, it is possible to add more units of each item to create new combinations or possibles, just make sure they do not total more than 9 dollars, which is the money John has. Here are some of the possible combinations:
Two fruit kabobs and two smoothies
Fruit kabobs: $1.75 x 2 = $3.5
Smoothies: $ 2.50 x 2 = $5
Total: $8.5
Three fruit kabobs and one smoothie
Fruit kabobs: $1.75 x 3 = $5.25
Smoothie: $2.50
Total: $7.75
One fruit kabob and two smoothies
Fruit kabob: $1.75
Smoothies: $2.50 x 2 = $5
Total: $6.75
