Help solve this there is reward

you have ten mangoes and twelve carrots that cost 23$ in total, five mangoes and four carrots cost ten dollars what does one mango and one carrot cost

Answer 1

Answer:1 carrot cost .75 cents and a mango cost 1.40

Explanation:

12 carrots + 10 mangoes = 23$

4 carrots + 5 mangoes = 10$

I know to get from 5 mangoes to 10 mangoes you have to multiply twice. so it wil come up to 20 dollars

8 carrots + 10 mangoes = 20$

divide by 2

that will leave 4 carrots and 3 dollars.

4/3 = .75

17 dollars is left

so 10 carrots is equal to 14 dollars

14/10 = 1.4 dollars
