Question

7. On Thursday, Kim purchased a medium iced caramel latte and a blueberry muffin for $5.18. Then, on Friday, Kim

purchased two medium iced caramel lattes and three blueberry muffins for her and her friends. The total amount

of Friday's order was $11.95. What is the cost of a medium iced caramel latte?

Answer 1

Cost of medium iced caramel latte = $3.59

Explanation:

Assume;

Cost of medium iced caramel latte = x

Cost of blueberry muffin = y

So,

On Thursday

x + y = 5.18......eq1

On Friday

2x + 3y = 11.95.....eq2

Eq1 × 3

3x + 3y = 15.54......eq3

eq3 - eq2

x = 3.59

Cost of medium iced caramel latte = $3.59
