Let x be the cost of each juice and y be the cost of each BBQ.

4x + 2y = 16

4x + 3y = 21

Subtract the second equation from the first

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into 4x + 2y = 16

4x + 2(5) = 16

4x + 10 = 16

4x = 16 - 10

4x = 6

x=1.5

Therefore, a juice cost $1.5 and a BBQ cost $5

So, if the Emdin family pu rchased 3 juice and 3 BBQ, then

cost of juice = 3 x $1.5 = $4.5

cost of BBQ = 3 x $5 = $15

Total money spent by Emdin family = $4.5 + $15 = $19.5
