x-scrunchies prize
y-barrettes prize

2x+4y=12,50
1x+6y=12,25
solve this system

Let the cost of one scrunchie be 'x' and that of one barrete be 'y'.
So, cost of 2 scrunchies and 4 barretes = 2x + 4y = 12.5   ...{i}
and, cost of 1 scrunchie and 6 barretes = x + 6y =12.25  ...{ii}

Solve this system^, and find 'x'!
