Correct answer: 5x + 6y = 2x + 15y
Explanation:
Let the cost of one apple be x and the cost of one orange be y.
- Siri bought 5 apples and 6 oranges. So, total cost for Siri = 5x + 6y
- Laxmi bought 2 apples and 15 oranges. So, total cost for Laxmi = 2x + 15y
Since both spent the same total amount, we equate the two expressions:
5x + 6y = 2x + 15y
This represents the correct situation.
