1.

A fruit stand sells apples for $1.50 each and oranges for $2.00 each.
The two-variable equation for spending exactly $12 is:

1.50a+2.00o=121.50a + 2.00o = 12

where aa = number of apples and oo = number of oranges.

If a customer buys 4 apples, how many oranges can they buy to spend
exactly $12?
