Answer 2

Answer:

The mass of the vegetables is 6 kg

The cost per kilogram of fruit is 16 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

1x+8x+3x= 9kg

12x=9kg

x= 9/12

therefore mass of vegetables equals 8*9/12

Mass of fruits= 3*9/12 = 2.25

therefore cost per kilo equals cost/mass= 3.6/2.25 = 1.6 dollars
