Question

You've gone to a fruit stand to get some fresh produce.You notice that person in front of you gets 5 apples and 4 oranges for 10 dollars.You get 5 apples and 5 oranges for 11 dollars.
Can we solve the price of an apple and an orange using this information in a system of linear equations in two variables?
If yes,what is the solution?
If no,what is the reason we cannot?

Answer 1

Answer:

Price of an Apple = $1.2

Price of an Orange = $1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of an Apple = A

Price of an Orange = O

5A + 4O = $10 ......(1)

5A + 5O = $11 ......(2)

Hope you can solve the two linear equations.
