Question

Savannah and her children went into a grocery store and she bought $22 worth of

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p = peaches, m = mangos

1.75p + 1.50m = 22

m = p + 6

1.75p + 1.50(p + 6) = 22

1.75p + 1.50p + 9 = 22

1.75p + 1.50p = 22 - 9

3.25p = 13

p = 13 / 3.25

p = 4 <====== she bought 4 peaches

m = p + 6

m = 4 + 6

m = 10 <===== she bought 10 mangos

check...

1.75p + 1.50m = 22

1.75(4) + 1.50(10) = 22

7 + 15 = 22

22 = 22 (correct)
