4 apples and 3 pears cost $4.80
3 apples and 5 pears cost $5.25​


Sagot :

Answer:

Pears = $ 0.60 each and apples $0.75 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

4a+3p = 4.80

3a+5p = 5.25 (I will solve it by addition)

3(4a+3p=4.80) plus

-4(3a+5p=5.25) =

12a+9p=14.40 plus

-12a-20p= -21

-11p = - 6.6

p = -66/-11

p = 0.60

Apples:

4a + 3(0.60) = 4.80

4a + 1.80 = 4.80

a = (4.80-1.80)/4

a = 0.75
