Each pound of squash cost $0.49 while each pound of eggplant cost $0.69.
Let x represent the cost of each pound of squash and y represent the cost of each pound of eggplant.
3 pounds of squash and 2 pounds of eggplants cost $2.85. Hence:
3x + 2y = 2.85 (1)
4 pounds of squash and 5 pounds of eggplants cost $5.41. Hence:
4x + 5y = 5.41 (2)
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:
x = 0.49, y = 0.69
Each pound of squash cost $0.49 while each pound of eggplant cost $0.69.
