Answer:
Bag of windflower bulbs costs $8.50
Package of crocus bulbs costs $17.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let $x be the price of one bag of windflower bulbs and $y be the price of one package of crocus bulbs.
1. Mark sold 2 bags of windflower bulbs for $2x and 5 packages of crocus bulbs for $5y. In total he earned $(2x+5y) that is $105. So,
2x+5y=105
2. Julio sold 9 bags of windflower bulbs for $9x and 5 packages of crocus bulbs for $5y. In total he earned $(9x+5y) that is $164.50. So,
9x+5y=164.50
3. You get the system of two equations:
From the first equation
Substitute it into the second equation:
9x+105-2x=164.50
7x=164.50-105
7x=59.5
x=$8.50
So,
5y=105-2·8.5
5y=105-17
5y=88
y=$17.60
Answer:
$12.80
Step-by-step explanation:
Before markup: $8
