\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Katrin369 What do you think the answer to a is? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) I have been trying to solve that, I still havent found a decent answer.

Katrin369:

Ok so do you have trouble on a or on all of them?

Katrin369:

Ok, There are two types of veggies, zucchini and broccoli. zucchini costs $1.50, and broccoli costs $2.

Katrin369:

Katrin369:

Katrin369:

How many pounds of zucchini and broccoli can you buy for $17, but in total, there has to be 10 pounds of zucchini and broccoli thats right

Katrin369:

Katrin369:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Katrin369 How many pounds of zucchini and broccoli can you buy for LESS $17, but in total, there has to be 10 pounds of zucchini and broccoli thats right \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Katrin369:
