Question

Ana bought two melons and one pineapple for $8.96. If she had purchased one melon and two pineapples, she would have spent $1.49 more. What is the price of a melon? a pineapple?

Answer 1

2m+p=8.96
m+2p=10.45
m=10.45-2p
2(10.45-2p)+p=8.96
20.90-4p+p=8.96
-3p=-11.94
p=3.98
m=10.45-2(3.98)
m=2.49
