• Choice J

    $$ Cost\ of\ 3\ apples\ and\ 4\ oranges=\$ 3.47 $$

    $$ Cost\ of\ 12\ oranges=\$ 6.36 $$

    $$ Total\ amount=\$10 $$

    $$ Cost\ of\ 1\ orange=\frac{6.36}{12}=\$0.53 $$

    $$ Cost\ of\ 4\ orange=4\times 0.53=\$2.12 $$

    $$ Cost\ of\ 3\ apples=\$3.47-\$2.12=\$1.35 $$

    $$ Cost\ of\ 1\ apples=\frac{1.35}{3}=\$0.45 $$

    So the number of apples she can buy today is

    $$ Apples=\frac{10}{0.45}=22.22\approx 22 $$
