Answer:

Strawberries 80 , Mango 1 , Apple 19

Explanation:

You need to buy total 100 fruits so one equation would be, X + Y + Z = 100

You need to buy a quantity of 100. Since Strawberry is cheap, the most we can buy is 80. This ensures you don’t exceed the quantity of 100.

So new equation would be 80 + Y + Z = 100. –> Y + Z = 20

Another equation would be price so 1(X/40) + 3Y + 5Z = 100

we already know X as 80 so new equation would be 3Y + 5 Z = 98

If so solve Equation 1 and 2, You’ll get Y=1 and Z = 19
