Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

Tope bought x oranges at ₦5.00 each and  2x  mangoes at ₦4.00 each.

Total amount spent = \5x + 4(2x) = 5x + 8x = 13x

Given:  ₦65.00 ≤ 13x ≤ ₦130.00

Divide through by 13:  
5 \(\leq\) x \(\leq\) 10.

(or x = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

Verification:
- When x = 5: 13 × 5 = ₦65.00 (minimum)
- When x = 10: 13 × 10 = ₦130.00 (maximum)
