Jan and Wayne went to the store to buy some groceries. Jan bought 2 cans of corn beef hash and 3 cans of creamed chipped beef for $4.95. Wayne bought 3 cans of corn beef hash and 2 cans of creamed chipped beef for $5.45.

Answer 1

Corn Beef = x

Creamed Chipped beef = y

Jan:

2x + 3y = 4.95

Wayne:

3x +2y = 5.95

Graph two equation and find the point where two lines cross and that will be solution.

Point where two lines cross: (1.29, 0.79)

Corn Beef = $1.29

Creamed Chipped Beef = $0.79
