bought 4 pickles and 2 popcorn boxes for $13.50 How
much does the Pickel cost?
O $1.25
O $1.50
O $2.00
O $1.75

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: To find the cost of one pickle, we can use a system of equations. Let x be the cost of one pickle and y be the cost of one popcorn box. Then we have:

2x + 2y = 10 4x + 2y = 13.50

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get:

2x = 3.50 x = 1.75

So one pickle costs $1.75.
