Answer:
the answer is the second option
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.
Let x = pounds of $12 per pound coffee
then
20-x = pounds of $9 per pound coffee
.
12x + 9(20-x) = 10(20)
12x + 180 - 9x = 200
3x + 180 = 200
3x = 20
x = 20/3
x = 6 and 2/3 pounds of $12 per pound coffee
.
Amount of $9 per pound coffee:
20-x = 20-20/3 = 60/3 - 20/3 = 40/3
or
13 and 1/3 pounds of $9 per pound coffee
