Answer:

  • apple: $2.25
  • mango: $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" and "m" represent the cost of an apple and a mango, respectively. Then Cameron's purchase can be represented as ...

  4a +7m = 17.75

Gavin's purchase can be represented as ...

  2a +5m = 10.75

Subtracting the first equation from twice the second gives ...

  2(2a +5m) -(4a +7m) = 2(10.75) -(17.75)

  3m = 3.75

  m = 1.25

Then the price of an apple can be found from the second equation:

  2a +5(1.25) = 10.75

  2a = 4.50 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6.25

  a = 2.25 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The price of an apple was $2.25; the price of a mango was $1.25.

mart [117]

3 times 5 times 2.5 = $37.5

3 x 5 =15

15 x 2.5 =37.5

37.5 x 2 = 75 for both of them

I don't know if this is right or not, but that's how I would solve it!
