We will start solving as follows:
*First: We write the equations described in the problem, those are:
Monday:
Tuesday:
*Seciond: We operate the expressions in order to eliminate one of the variables and solve for only one of them, that is:
5 (6d + 2c = 5.20)
-2 (4d + 5c = 6.95)
---------------------------
30d + 10c = 26
-8d - 10c = -13.9
--------------------------
22d = 12.1 => d = 0.55
Now, we have the price for each donut is $0.55. So, in order to determine now the value of the coffee we input this value in one of the original equations and solve for c, that is:
So, the value for each coffee is $0.95.
