Chen is bringing fruit and veggies to serve at an afternoon meeting. He spends a total of $28.70 on 5 pints of cut veggies and 7 pints of cut fruit. The food cost is modeled by the equation 5v + 7f = 28.70, where v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies and f represents the cost of one pint of cut fruit. If the cost of each pint of fruit is $2.85, what is the approximate price of a pint of veggies? (Round to the nearest cent.)

5v + 7(2.85) = 28.70
5v + 19.95 = 28.70
Now minus 19.95 from BOTH sides
5v=8.75
Now divide both sides by ' 5'
v=$1.75
