Darcy is buying apples and oranges for a large fruit basket to give away as a door prize at a charity event. apples cost $.24 each and oranges cost $.80 each. she has $12 to spend and would like to purchase at least 20 pieces of fruit total
Accepted Solution
A:
Let x be the number of apples Let y be the number of oranges
x+y≤20 0.24x+0.8y≤12
x≤20-y
0.24(20-y)+0.8y≤12 4.8-0.24y+0.8y≤12 0.56y≤7.2 y=12.9 (you can choose 12 here, since you can't have a fraction of an orange sold)
