Remember to state what each variable represents, indicate the two equations, solve and state your final answer.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the chocolate milk be X

apple juice be Y

in the first statement it is given that

3X + 5Y = $7.50

2X + 3Y = $4.75

solving both the equations we get

Y= $0.75

X= $1.25
