Answer:

Apple = $0.6

Banana = $0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent Apple by A and Banana by B

For Joe,

5A + 4B = 6       (1)

For Dawn

3A + 6B = 6.3     (2)

To eliminate A, Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5

15A + 12B = 18          (3)

15A + 30B = 31.5       (4)

subtracting equation (4) from (3)

15A - 15A +12B - 30B = 18 - 31.5

-18B = -13.5

divide through by -18

-18B/-18 = -13.5/-18

B = 0.75

substitute 0.75 in equation (1)

5A + 4B = 6

5A + 4(0.75) = 6

5A + 3 = 6

subtract 3 from both sides

5A + 3 - 3 = 6 - 3

5A = 3

divide through by 5

5A/5 = 3/5

A = 0.6

nasty-shy [4]

Answer: the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is $55.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial price of the jacket is $75.

Luke bought a jacket that was 30% off the cost. This means that the amount of discount on the Jacket is

30/100 × 75 = 0.3 × 75 = $22.5

The price of the jacket after the discount had been applied is

75 - 22.5 = $52.5

He paid sales tax of 6% after the discount had been applied. This means that the amount of sales tax that he paid on the jacket is

6/100 × 52.5 = 0.06 × 52.5 = 3.15

Therefore, the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is

52.5 + 3.15 = $55.65
