Answer:

  $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variables A, B, C, D represent a sack of apples, a bunch of bananas, a cantaloupe, and a carton of dates, respectively. Then the problem statement gives rise to 3 equations:

  A +B +C +D = 20

  D = 2A

  C = A -B

Substituting the last two equations into the first gives ...

  A +B + (A -B) +2A = 20

  4A = 20 . . . simplify

  A = 5 . . . . . divide by 4

Substituting this into the last equation, we have ...

  C = 5 -B

  B + C = 5 . . . . add B

The cost to purchase a bunch of bananas and a cantaloupe is $5.
