Pumpkin pie was $1.5 a slice,

Answer 1

Let's start by seeing which type she did NOT buy. Since she spent exactly $6, she could buy apple (even dollar amount), 2 pumpkin pies (would make an even dollar amount), and mixed berry (even dollar amount). She could not buy coconut, since she would have to purchase 5 to make an even dollar amount.

Answer 2

So that limits us to apple, pumpkin, and mixed berry. We know that the 2 must be pumpkin, to make an even dollar amount. That leaves us with $3 left, enough for 1 apple and 1 mixed berry.

So:
1 apple
2 pumpkin
1 mixed berry
