Step-by-step explanation:

Orange juice: $2.20 per bottle.

10 bottles of orange juice cost 10 * $2.20 = $22.00.

We subtract the cost of the 10 bottles of orange juice from the amount of money he has to find out the amount he will have left for bottles of apple juice.

$50.80 - $22.00 = $28.80

After buying the 10 bottles of orange juice, he has $28.80 left.

We divide the money he has left for apple juice bottles by the price of one apple juice bottle to find out the number of apple juice bottles he can buy.

$28.80/$2.40 = 12

He can buy 12 bottles of apple juice.
