Answer :
- The price of Tea per kg is Rs. 300
- Price of the Sugar per kg is Rs. 40
Step-by-step explanation :
Hey Mate,
#Correction in Question : Kantabai bought 1.5 kg tea and 5 kg sugar from a shop. (Question from CBSE class 10)
Suppose,
The price of the tea per kg = X
The price of the sugar per kg = Y
Given Equation,
3X + 10Y = 1300 ..... (1)
2X + 7Y = 880 ....... (2)
Multiple Eq(1) with 2 & multiple (2) with 3
6X + 20Y = 2600 ..... (3)
6X + 21Y = 2640 .......(4)
Eq(4) - Eq(3)
Y = 40. (Put this value in Eq(1))
After solving both equation we will get the value of X and Y.
X = 300 = Price of Tea
Y = 40 = Price of Sugar
The price of Tea per kg is Rs. 300 Price of the Sugar per kg is Rs. 40
