Answer 1

Answer:

6, she can buy 6 oranges.

Answer 2

The maximum number of oranges she can buy is 6

How to find  what is the maximum number of whole oranges Lynne can buy?​

According to the problem,

• Lynne has $8.00 to spend on apples and oranges
• Apples cost $0.65 each
• oranges cost $0.75 each
• she buys 5 apples

The amount she spent after buying 5 apples = $ ( 0.65 x 5 ) = $3.25

• Amount of money left with her = $ (8.00 - 3.25) = $ 4.75

With $ 0.75, Lynne can buy 1 orange

∴ with $ 4.75 , She can buy $\frac{4.75}{0.75}$ oranges = 6.333 oranges.

Since number of oranges should be a whole number, the maximum  number of oranges she can buy is 6
