which one is the right answer?
Answered by GPT 3.5
To find the cost per apple, divide the total amount spent by the number of apples: $2.40 / 4 = $<<2.40/4=0.60>>0.60 per apple
Next, divide the total amount she spent this week by the cost per apple: $5.40 / $0.60 = <<5.4/0.6=9>>9 apples
Since the cost per apple remains the same, she could buy 9 apples next week. Answer: \boxed{9}.

To find the cost per apple, divide the total amount spent by the number of apples.

A) 1 apple for $1.20: Cost per apple = $1.20 / 1 = $1.20/apple

B) 6 apples for $3.40: Cost per apple = $3.40 / 6 = $0.57/apple

C) 10 apples for $6.00: Cost per apple = $6.00 / 10 = $0.60/apple

D) 13 apples for $8.20: Cost per apple = $8.20 / 13 = $0.63/apple

So, the cost per apple is different for each option.
