3. if the total amount paid by Laxmi was Rs. 30
and the number of oranges purchased by her was
6, then how many bananas did she purchase? Express
it algrebically and graphically.​

Answer 1

Answer: No. of bananas she purchased = 6

Step-by-step explanation: Let the no. of bananas be x.

The total amount paid by Laxmi = Rs. 30

No. of oranges = 6 and costs of 1 orange = 3

Costs paid by Laxmi for oranges = 6 × 3 = 18

No. of bananas = x and costs of 1 bananas = 2

Costs paid by Laxmi for bananas = x × 2

Costs paid by Laxmi for bananas = the total amount paid by Laxmi - Costs paid by Laxmi for oranges

x × 2 = 30 - 18

x × 2 = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6
