Christina can buy 7 bananas because one papaya is 8 dollars and then you do 50-8=42 and then 42/6 which equals 7.

Billy can only buy one pair of jeans. The reason is that jeans are 35 bucks and he has already spent 55 dollars on a hat and jacket and that leaves him with 35 bucks left so 35-35 equals zero!
