Answer:
1 pear = $0.45
1 mango = 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
8 pears + 5 mangoes = $11.10 ➡ 8p + 5m = 11.10
5 pears + 4 mangoes = $8.25 ➡ 5p + 4m = 8.25
multiply first equation by -4 and second one by 5
-4 ×(8p+5m) = 11.10 ➡ -32p - 20m = 44.4
5 ×(5p+4m) = 8.25 ➡ 25p + 20m = 41.25
add both equations up
-32p - 20m + 25p + 20m = 44.4 + 41.25
-7p = 3.15 ➡ p = $0.45
use this value to find the price of mango
5×0.45 + 4×m = 8.25 ➡ 2.25 + 4m = 8.25 ➡ 4m = 6 ➡ m = $1.5
