Answer 2

1 mango = 11 dollars

1 apple = 13 dollars

Explanation:

Let
be equal to the cost of an apple.

Let
be equal to the cost of a mango.

1) Create equations

An apple costs $2.00 more than a mango.

⇒
(the cost of a mango + 2 dollars = cost of an apple)

The total cost of three apples and a mango is $50.00.

⇒
(3 apples*the cost of 1 apple + cost of 1 mango = 50 dollars)

2) Solve for m and a

Substitute a with

Subtract both sides by 6

Divide both sides by 4

Therefore, the cost of 1 mango is 11 dollars.

Substitute m with 11 to solve for a

Therefore, the cost of 1 apple is 13 dollars.

I hope this helps!
