  1. 8p


  2. It doesn't matter if you have a card or if you put it in your pocket.

  3. do your own homework we wont be around when you take your test sorry !!

  4. b=banana

    o=orange

    2b + 2o = 34p

    2b + 1o = 25p

    1o = 34-25

    1o = 9

    2o= 18

    2b + 18 = 34

    34-18=16

    2b=16

    b=8

  5. Do your own homework, please.

  6. 8p.

    2 bans + 2 orans = 34p

    2 bans + 1 oran = 25p

                    1 oran = 34 - 25p = 9p

    2 bans + 1 oran - 9p = 2 bans = 25 - 9p = 16p

    2 bans = 16p = 2 x (1 ban = 8p)

  7. let the bananas be "x" n oranges be "y"

    2x+2y=34p

    therefore 2(x+y)=34p

    x+y=34p/2

    x+y=17p

    y=17p-x

    substituting the above equatin for y in below equation

    2x+1y=25p

    2x+1*(17p-x)=25p

    2x+17p-x=25p

    2x-x=25p-17p

    x=8p

    therefore each banana costs 8p
