Question

A small fruit basket with 6 apples and 6 oranges costs $7.50. A different fruit basket with 10 apples and 5 oranges costs $8.75. If x is the cost of one apple and y is the cost of one orange, the system of equations below can be used to determine the cost of one apple and one orange.

6x+6y=7.50

10x+5y=8.75

Answer 1

so there is this system of equations

6x +6y = 7,50

10x +5y = 8,75

so now just you need solve this system of equations - depend what method you wan need using substitution or elimination ?
