<span> </span> <span>24x+9y=54 24x+40y=116 multiplying them with 3 and 8 resectively. </span> <span>subtract one from the other we get </span> <span>40y-9y=116-54 </span> <span>31y=62 </span> <span>y=2. cost of apple=2$ per apple </span><span>8x+3y=18, 8x+3(2)=18. 8x=12. x=12/8=1.5 </span> <span>cost of mango i= 1.5 $ per mango hope this helps</span>
