Josh and Justin when to the farmers market. Josh purchased 11 tomatoes and 13 ears of corn, and Justin purshased 7 tomatoes and 4 ears of corn. If Josh spent $48.19 and Justin spent $21.48, and both people purchased their items from the same vendor, how much did the vendor charge for a single tomato and a single ear of corn?

Answer:

tomatoes=$3.2

corn=$1

Explanation:

11x+13y=48.19

11x=48.19-13y

x=(48.19/11)-(13/11)

x=3.2

11(3.2)+13y=48.19

35.2+13y=48.19

13y=13

y=1
