Ami buys x apples and y bananas. The apples cost 15p each and the bananas cost 20p each. The total cost of Ami's apples and bananas is £1.80. a Write an equation for the total cost of Ami's apples and bananas.

0.15x + 0.20y = 1.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in writing an equation for the total cost of the apples and bananas

before we write , kindly understand that 100p = £1

So the cost of apple which is 15p will be 15/100 =£ 0.15

The cost of bananas which is 20p will be 20/100 = £0.2

Thus, the total cost of the apples bought will be number of apples bought * price of apple bought = 0.15 * x = £0.15x

The cost of bananas = number of bananas bought * price of bananas = 0.2 * y = £0.2y

So the total cost of the apples and bananas will be;

0.15x + 0.20y = 1.80
