Answer:

Blueberry pie: $10

Blackberry pie: $12

Explanation:

We can use system of equations for this problem. Let's use x for blueberry and y for blackberry.

Equation 1

8x+8y=176

This equation comes from how mush Heather sold.

Equation 2

8x+10y=200

This equation comes from how mush Kim sold.

We can use elimination method to find the value of y.

-2y=-24

y=12

Now, we know that a blackberry pie costs $12. We can plug this back into any of the equaitons above to find the price of a blueberry pie.

8x+10(12)=200

8x+120=200

8x=80

x=10

We know that a blueberry pie costs $10.
