2 apples and 1 orange cost $1.35. 1 apple and 2 oranges cost $1.20 whats the cost of an apple and an orange?

Question

Cost $1.20. There is one price for all apples and one price for all oranges. How much does one apple cost? How much does an orange cost?

Answer 1

x = cost of apple

y = cost of orange

2x + y = 1.35

x + 2y = 1.20

x = 1.20 - 2y

2(1.20 - 2y) + y = 1.35

2.40 - 4y +y = 1.35

-3y = -1.05

y = 0.35

x = 0.50

Apple = $0.50

Orange = $0.35

Answer 2

apples cost 50 cents.

oranges cost 35 cents
