The cost of each bag of soil is $ 16.25 and the cost of each bag of fertilizer is $ 12.99.
<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>
A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.
Mr. Ellis has started a vegetable garden.
He bought 15 bags of soil and 3 bags of fertilizer for 282.72.
He realized he did not have enough supplies so he bought another 5 bags of soil and 2 bags of fertilizer for 107.23.
Let the cost of each bag of soil be x and the cost of a bag of fertilizer be y.
Then we have the linear equations,
15x + 3y = 282.72
5x + 2y = 107.23
On solving the equations 1 and 2, we have
x = 16.25 and y = 12.99
The cost of each bag of soil is $ 16.25 and the cost of each bag of fertilizer is $ 12.99.
