Set up your two equations:
<span>9x+7y=53 </span>
<span>3x+5y=25 </span>
<span>X=cost per pound of jelly bean </span>
<span>Y=cost per pound of trail mix </span>
<span>Multiply the second equation by (-3): </span>
<span>-9x-15y=-75 </span>
<span>+ 9x+7y=53 <---- copy first equation and add them </span>
<span>—————— </span>
<span>0x-8y=-22 </span>
<span>Then solve for y: </span>
<span>Y=2.76 this is your cost per pound of trail mix. </span>
<span>Then plug y back in to one of the original equations and solve for x: </span>
<span>3x+7(2.75)=25 </span>
<span>X=3.75 this is you cost per pound of jelly beans</span>

Answer:
- scientific or graphing calculator
- TVM solver
- spreadsheet
Step-by-step explanation:
For many future-value calculations, a scientific calculator is a sufficient tool. Of course, one must know the appropriate formula to use.
A good alternative when the calculation is a little messy is a TVM solver or special-purpose financial calculator. I prefer this tool because it requires little more than entering numbers in to the right slots.
Most modern spreadsheet programs and apps come with financial formulas built in. So, they, too, can be easy tools to use for calculating future value. These are especially handy when a number of scenarios need to be explored. (I always have to look up the formulas to see which one is appropriate and what its inputs are. So, I find a spreadsheet less useful for a simple calculation.)
