Answer:
x=10 and y= 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the cost of 1 banana = $0.60
Cost of 1 mango = $1.50.
Total cost= $ 18
Here, x be the number of bananas and y be the numbers of mangos,
As the number of bananas is 2 more than the number of mangos,
So, x=y+2
Cost of x bananas
Cost of y mangos
Total cost = 0.6x+1.5y
Solving both the equations (i) as well as (ii), graphically as shown in the figure by plotting both the graphs.
Both the graphs intersect at the point (10,8) as shown in the graph.
So, the solution of both the equations is, (x,y)=(10,8). i.e
The number of bananas = x= 10 and
the number of mangos = y = 8.
