Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want the minimum number of the apples you will fill the first box with 12 apples and then the second box with 15 apples and you will put the minimum number of apples in the third box which is 1 in order to get the minimum number of the apples in the basket

So the minimum number of apples in the basket is

12 +15 +1= 28 is the minimum number of apples
