Answer:you will get the answer in the Step By step
Step-by-step explanation: Let t = cost per pound of turkey
Let h = cost per pound of ham
4t + 2h = 30
t = h - 1.5
substitute h-1.5 in place of t in 1st equation
4(h-1.5) + 2h = 30
4h - 6 + 2h = 30
6h - 6 = 30
6h = 36
h = 6
t = h-1.5 = 4.5
1 pound of turkey costs $4.50
1 pound of ham costs $6.00
----------
cost of 1 pound each $10.50
