Do you remember when you were learning about the "Least Common
Multiple" of two numbers, and you were wondering why you had to learn
it, because you were so sure that you'd never need to use it ? Do you
remember that ?
Well, HERE's where you get to use it. This question is just looking for
the LCM of 6 and 15 . THAT's how many days it will be before you get
homework in both subjects on the same day again.
(It's not 90 days, and it's not 60 days.)

Answer:
- 6 bunches of bananas
- 7 pounds of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.
Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...
6B +8(13 -B) = 92
-2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B
13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples
The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.
_____
<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You will note that finding the value of the variable involved arithmetic with negative numbers. If you want the numbers to stay positive, then you can choose the variable to represent <em>the most expensive</em> of the items: the number of pounds of apples.
