Suppose you bought 8 mangoes and four apples for $20 and 3 mangoes and 6 apples for $16.50. What is a system of equations that represents the situation? how much does each mango and each apple cost?

Answer 1

2$ Apple and 1.50 mangos hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer: Apples: $2 Mangos: $1.50

Explanation:

8m+3a = 183m+5a=14.5

Multiply the first equation by 5 and multiply the second equation by 340m+15a=909m+15a=43.5

Subtract the equations

31m=46.5m=46.5/31m=1.5

Substitute to find the price of apples

8(1.5)+3a=1812+3a=183a=18-123a=6a=2

Apples cost $2.00 each mangoes cost $1.50 each
