to produce 4 apples and 4 oranges need $10 (1st condition)

to produce 6 apples and 6 oranges need $15 (2nd condition)

from both condition, we can write it


6x + 6y = 25\\4x + 4y = 10\\------\\2x +2y = 15\\x + y = 7.5

If we put this information into a system of linier, it'll become x + y = 7.5

it means, fruit stand decide to charge $7.5 for each produce for one apple and one oranges
