YES

Explanation:

Ines has $15 to purchase fruit. All apples are priced equally and all bananas are priced equally.

If 5 apples and 5 bananas cost exactly $15, that will mean that each cost = $15 / 10 fruits = $1.5 per fruit (Since all apples are priced equally and all bananas are priced equally.)

Then 4 apples and 6 bananas = 10 fruits x $1.5 = $15

Therefore Ines can afford 4 apples and 6 bananas with the money she has
