Answer:

one cup of coffee costs $2, while one bottle of water costs $1

Explanation:

We can represent this using two equations:

  • Variable x represents cups of coffee, and variable y represents bottles of water.

5x + 2y = 12

4x + 7y = 15

Your answer for the value of x and y should be

x = 2

y = 1

Therefore, one cup of coffee costs $2, while one bottle of water costs $1.
