Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let x be the number of uglifruits Maria can buy per day and y be the number of breadfruits she can buy per day.
From the given information, we have the following two equations:
6x + y = Maria's income
11x + 4y = Maria's income

Solving these equations simultaneously, we get:
x = 23
y = 130

Substituting these values in either of the equations, we get:
Maria's income = 6x + y = 6(23) + 130 = 268

Therefore, Maria's income per day is 268 pesos. The closest option is C) 114 pesos.
