Apples cost $0.75 per pound and bananas cost $1.05 per pound.

A baker bought a total of 12 pounds of apples and bananas for $10.20.

The system of equations {a+b=120.75a+1.05b=10.20 models this situation, where a is the number of pounds of apples, and b is the number of pounds of bananas.

How many pounds of each did the baker buy?
