Answer 1

Answer:

Total apples brought=14

Total bananas brought=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Money with Sid =  £5 = 500p

cost of 1 apple= 7

cost of 12 apples =7x12=84

Change left after he buys apples=500-84=416

cost of 1 banana=40

He can buy maximum 10 bananas

cost of 10 bananas=40×10=400

Change left after he buys bananas=416-400=16

Now he can buy 2 more apples

cost of 2 apples =7x2=14

Change left=16-14=2p

Total apples brought=12+2=14

Total bananas brought=10

Answer 2

Answer:

Sid bought 23 apples and 9 bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

18x6=£1.08 for apples

£5-1.08= £3.92

392÷40= 9.8 bananas

0.8x40=32p or £0.32

0.32 ÷0.6= 5.33333

5+18 =23

Sid buys 18 apples and 9 bananas with a leftover of £0.32. So, Sid can buy an extra 5 apples. Thus, Sid bought 23 apples and 9 bananas
