We can create equations to solve this.

2.50p + 1.50m = 29.50
p + m = 15

Solve for a variable in the 2nd equation and use the substitution method to solve.

p + m = 15

Subtract p to both sides:

m = -p + 15

Plug in -p + 15 for m in the first equation.

2.50p + 1.50(-p + 15) = 29.50

Distribute:

2.50p - 1.50p + 22.50 = 29.50

Combine like terms:

p + 22.50 = 29.50

Subtract 22.50 to both sides:

p = 7

Now plug this into any of the two equations and solve for the other variable.

p + m = 15

7 + m = 15

Subtract 7 to both sides:

m = 8

So he purchased 7 pineapples and 8 mangos.

Afina-wow [57]
If the rule for this pattern is add 3, you would take term 1 which had 5 dots then add 3, that makes term 2 have 8 dots, than add 3 that means term 3 has 11 dots, term four would have 14, and each term after that would have 3 more
