b + p = 14 and 0.80 b + 2 p = 20.80 are the system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let b be the number of bananas

Let p be the number of peaches  

Given that the total of bananas and peaches that Emily bought  = 14

Hence we have,

b + p = 14

Step 2 :

Cost of one banana =  $0.80

Cost of one peach = $2

Cost of all the bananas and peaches Emily bought = $20.80

So sum of b bananas costing $0.80 and sum of p peaches costing $2 each is $20.80

Hence we have

0.80 b +2 p = 20.80

Solving for the above 2 equations we can get the value for b and p which will give the number of bananas and peaches bought

Step 3 :

Answer :

The system of equations that could be used to find the number of the bananas and the number of the peaches that Emily bought is given by

b + p = 14

0.80 b +2 p = 20.80
