Answer 1

Answer:

We get the number of peaches bought by Angel is 10 And

The number of mangoes should be less than 6 {Ex:- 5, 4, 3, 2} then Angel can buy no less than 12 peaches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

cost of a peach is $0.75.

cost of a mango is $125.

Total amount Angle has to spend $15.

According to Question,

Let the number of peaches bought by Angle be x.

And the number of mangoes bought by Angle is 6.

So,                                  

                                    $6\times 1.25 + x\times 0.75 = 15$

                                       $7.5 + x\times 0.75= 15$

                                                  $x\times 0.75 = 7.5$

                                                          $x= 10$

Here,

we get the number of peaches bought by Angel is 10.

Therefore,

According to Question Angel has to must buy no less than 12 mangoes so she needs to reduce the number of mangoes to achieve her goal that given in the statement.

     ∴       The number of mangoes should be less than 6 {Ex:- 5, 4, 3, 2} then Angel can buy no less than 12 peaches.
