Answer:

Let the cost of orange be X and cost of cherry be y

3x + 9y = 78

8x + 4y = 58

Solving equation using elimination method

multiplying eq 1 with 8 and eq 2 with 3

8(3x + 9y ) = 78(8)

3( 8x + 4y) = 3(58)

24x + 72 y = 624

24x + 12y = 174

subtracting,

60 y = 450

y = 7.5

3x + 9(7.5) = 78

3x + 67.5 = 78

3x = 78 - 67.5

3x = 10.5

x = 3.5

<h2>Box of orange = $3.5 </h2><h2>Box of cherry = $7.5</h2>
