Answer 1

Here's the 3 main points of this problem:

- We cannot exceed more than 10 dollars.

- We have to buy 5 lbs of bananas and apples.

- Bananas are 80 cents per lb and Apples are 1.40 dollars per lb.

Using the info above, we can form our equation as: $5(0.80)+5(1.40)\leq 10$ From here we can simplify this expression.

Firstly, do the multiplication on the left side of the equation: $4+7\leq 10$

Next, do the addition, and our simplified expression is: 11 ≤ 10. Since we know that 11 is greater than 10, this is a false expression.

In this context, Janice did not receive enough money to be able to buy this fruit. Janice would need an extra dollar to be able to do so.
