IMO C
A) only provides price for bananas — insufficient
B) doesn’t prove de price for individual fruits . Two unknowns — insufficient
C) together we get price of bananas f on A and oranges from B .. hence can derive the answer — Sufficient

3 banana + 6 orange = 6.15

1 banana + 2 orange = 6.15/3


b is sufficient

recheck

Be very aware of DS questions
If I get the answer quickly I always assume that m wrong and re check
Ps is fine but DS is designed in a way to trap people. :?

This is a tricky one, very easy to look past the ratio. Thanks for the explanation!

Amari, Belen, and Chiaki all make purchases from the same vendor at an outdoor market. The vendor sells fruits and vegetables priced at a certain amount for each one. How much does Chiaki pay for 1 banana and 2 navel oranges?

(1) Amari bought four bananas for $1.00.
(2) Belen bought 3 bananas and 6 navel oranges for $6.15.

We are trying to find the value of B+2O, where B equals the cost of a banana and O equals the cost of an orange.

S1: In other words 4B=1 and we can solve for B. However, we don;t know what O is. NOT SUFFICIENT.

S2: 6.15 = 3B + 6O. When we divide both sides of the equation by 3, it takes the form of the equation we are trying to solve. SUFFICIENT.

B
