Question

If one redskin and 4 golden roughs cost $1.65, whereas 2 redskins and 3 golden roughs cost $1.55, how much does each type of sweet cost?

Answer 1

redskin $0.50 golden rough $0.35

Explanation:

r=redskin

g=golden rough

1r + 4g = 1.65

2r + 3g = 1.55

I will multiply the first by -2

-2r - 8g = -3.30

2r +3g = 1.55

Add both

0 -5g = - 1.75

g= 0.35 0.35*4 = 1.4

r+ 1.4 = 1.65

r=0.25
