daffodil bulbs for a total of $86. Find the cost each of one bag of windflower bulbs and one bag
of daffodil bulbs.

Answer 1

wildflower: $8

daffodil: $14

Explanation:

9w + 9d = 198

2w + 5d = 86

-18w - 18d = -396

(+) 18w + 45d = 774

----------------------------------

27d = 378

d = 14

9w + 9(14) = 198

9w = 72

w = 8

wildflower: $8

daffodil: $14
