Answer:

A.) 6

B.) 24

C.) $60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cost of Mango = $2

Purchase of 6 mangoes earns 2 free mangoes

(a) Robin purchased $36.00 worth of mangoes.

How many free mangoes did Robin get?

$36 / price per Mango

$36 / $2 = 18 mangoes

18 / 6 = 3

Hence, free mangoes (3 * 2) = 6 free mangoes

(b) How many mangoes did he get all together?

18 mangoes + 6 mangoes = 24 mangoes

(c) Peter also bought mangoes. He received 40 mangoes. How much did Peter pay?

Set of mangoes purchased:

40/ (6 + 2) = 40/8 = 5 sets of mangoes

Hence, amount paid :

2 * 6 * 5 sets

$60
