Answer:

Total budget = $18.50

Bananas cost = $1.50

Apple juice price = $1.55

Gasoline price per gallon = $2.35

Total for fruits = $1.50 + $1.55 = $3.05

Remaining amount = 18.50 - 3.05 = 15.45

Price for 1 gallon of gasoline = 2.35

Thus,

2.35 multiplied by 6 equals 14.1

Remaining balance after purchasing gas = 15.45 - 14.1 = 1.35

To stay within his budget, he is limited to

6 gallons of gasoline
