let price of juice= j
let price of pancake=p
=> 3j+5p=7.60
      j+2p=2.90

anonymous · Answer

from 2nd equation we have j=2.90-2p
substituting j into equation 1 we have
3(2.90-2p)+5p=7.60
solve this for the value of p and put it in the equation(j=2.90-2p) to find the value of j
this will give u the price of juice and pancakes to solve the third part... :)
