Question

1. In a supermarket, each orange costs $3, and each apple costs $2. If you want to spend

Answer 1

2o + 3a = $45

Not sure if this is what your looking for.

Answer 2

Answer:

3o  + 2a = $45 ( you can buy 9 oranges and 9 apples)

Step-by-step explanation:

First I divided 45 by 3 and I got 15 so now I know that 15 is the highest amount of oranges I can buy without going over $45. I also know that 15 cannot be an answer because I also have to buy apples.

Then I divided 45 by 2 and 22 was the highest whole number.

Now I would play trial and error BUT i know that the number for oranges have to be less that 15 and the number for apples has to be less than 22.

3 times 9 equals 27 (oranges)

45 - 27 = 18

2 times 9 equals 18 (apples)
