To find out how many oranges Boubacar bought, we need to first determine the cost per orange based on the price of a bag of 88 oranges.
The price of a bag of oranges is $3.12. Therefore, the cost per orange is calculated as follows:
\[
\text{Cost per orange} = \frac{\text{Price of bag}}{\text{Number of oranges}} = \frac{3.12}{88}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\frac{3.12}{88} = 0.035454545 \ldots \approx 0.0355 \text{ (rounded to four decimal places)}
\]
Now we know the cost per orange is approximately $0.0355.
Next, we need to find out how many oranges Boubacar bought with his total expenditure of $2.34. We can do this by dividing the total amount he spent by the cost per orange:
\[
\text{Number of oranges} = \frac{\text{Total spent}}{\text{Cost per orange}} = \frac{2.34}{0.0355}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\frac{2.34}{0.0355} \approx 66
\]
Therefore, Boubacar bought **66 oranges**.
