I will present the problem, and I will show my steps. I somehow figured out the answer, but I feel like there's something in between that I went wrong or should have done. Can someone please help me?Here's the problem:The cateferia sells each apple at one price and each banana at another price. For 1 apple and 2 bananas Jose pays $2.05. For 4 apples and 2 bananas Aprili pays $2.70. Maria buys 2 apples and 2 bananas. How much does she have to pay?I started out letting X = how much Maria has to pay. So X = 2A + 2B.I need to figure out what A & B is. So i did this:(A+3B)/2.05 = (4A+2B)/2.70--> it became 2.70(A=3B0=2.05(4A+2B)--> then I came out to 4.0B = 5.5A4.0B=5.5A ... I don't know where to go from there! but I noticed that the Answer is B = .55 and A = .40Weird huh? I can't figure out how to get from that step to the answer.. maybe I'm missing a step or if someone can help me figure out why??
