To determine the number of apples, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information.

Let x be the number of apples and y be the number of bananas.

We know that the total number of fruits is 30. This information can be translated into the equation: x + y = 30

We also know that each apple costs $2 and each banana costs $1. Thus, the equation representing the total costs can be written as: 2x + y = 50, then
