Answer :
Final answer:
Willy can buy 3 pounds of bananas with the remaining budget after purchasing 3 pineapples for a total spend of 27.60.
Explanation:
Willy wants to buy 3 pineapples at a price of 4.80 each and some bananas at a price of 4.40 per pound, with a total budget of 27.60. To calculate the pounds of bananas Willy can buy, we first need to determine how much money is spent on pineapples.
Total cost of 3 pineapples = 3 pineapples imes 4.80
= 14.40
Now, subtract the cost of the pineapples from the total budget to find out how much money is left for the bananas.
Money left for bananas = Total budget - Cost of pineapples = 27.60 - 14.40
= 13.20
Finally, to find the pounds of bananas he can buy, divide the money left by the price per pound of bananas.
Pounds of bananas = Money left for bananas \/ Price per pound of bananas
= 13.20 \/ 4.40
= 3
Therefore, Willy can buy 3 pounds of bananas.
