oranges is $4.08. What is the cost per dozen of each item


Sagot :

Answer:

$1.20 per dozen eggs, $1.68 per dozen oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=cost of one dozen eggs and y=cost of one dozen oranges.

3x + 2y = 6.96------>3x + 2y = 6.96

2x + y = 4.08-------->4x + 2y = 8.16

---------------------

x = 1.20

4(1.20) + 2y = 8.16

4.80 + 2y = 8.16

2y = 3.36

y = 1.68

Answer:

The cost of one dozen of egg is 1.2

The cost of one dozen of orange is 1.68
