You bought 3 pounds of strawberries and 1 pound of blueberries for $8.40 to make pies for the summer festival. Your friend helped and bought 2 pounds of strawberries and 2 pounds of blueberries for $10.08. How much did a pound of blueberries cost?

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y = 8.4

2x + 2y = 10.08

x + y = 5.04

y = 5.04 - x

we use this then in the first equation

3x + 5.04 - x = 8.4

2x = 3.36

x = 3.36/2 = $1.68

y = 5.04 - x = 5.04 - 1.68 = $3.36

blueberries cost $3.36 per pound.
