Answer 1

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of oranges that can be purchased and y be the number of mangoes purchased

price of 1 mango=5 and price of 1 orange=3

given that number of oranges should be equal to number of mangoes

          that is, x=y

total money =50

so, 5x+3y=50

   x=y

5x+3y=50

8x=50

x=6.25

so 6 oranges can be purchased and 6 mangoes can be purchased at 48 rupees
