Question

Chen is bringing fruit and veggies to serve at an afternoon meeting. He spends a total of $28.70 on 5 pints of cut veggies and 7 pints of cut fruit. The food cost is modeled by the equation 5 v plus 7 f equals 28.70, where v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies and f represents the cost of one pint of cut fruit. If the cost of each pint of fruit is $2.85, what is the approximate price of a pint of veggies? (Round to the nearest cent, as needed.)
