Answer:
- Swimming Pool: $5000
- Caribbean: $15000
Explanation:
Let p and c represent the costs (in thousands) of swimming pool and Caribbean weddings, respectively. We have ...
5p +2c = 55 . . . . . total cost of the weddings
p = c -10 . . . . . . . . the difference in their cost
Substituting for p in the first equation gives ...
5(c -10) +2c = 55
7c -50 = 55
7c = 105
c = 15
p = 15 -10 = 5
The Swimming Pool weddings cost $5000; the Caribbean weddings cost $15,000.
