Marta bought new fish for her home aquarium. She bought 3 guppies and 2 platies for a total of $13.95. Hank also bought guppies and platies for his aquarium. He bought 3 guppies and 4 platies for a total of $18.33. Find the price of a guppy and the price of a platy.

Answer 1

Hank bought same guppies as Marta but 2more platies so
18.33-13.95=4.38
2platies=4.38
4.38/2=2.19
2.19 price of platies
13.95-4.34=9.61
9.61/3=3.20
3.29 price of guppies
