Answer:
The average cost of one mango = c = ₦8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'c' be the average cost of one mango
The original amount Idahtonye has = ₦50.00
The amount of mangoes Idahtonye buys = 6 mangoes
As he gets back the change of ₦2 after paying ₦50.00 to buy 5 mangoes.
Thus the equation becomes
50 - 2 = 6c
48 = 6c
dividing both sides by 6
48/6 = 6c/6
c = 8 ₦
Therefore, the average cost of one mango = c = ₦8
