Answer:
Amount spent by Victoria = $30.
Cost of 1 flan = $22.50
Step-by-step explanation:
A.
Let x be total amount of money that Victoria had before purchasing the flan and chicken pies.
We have been given that Victoria's spends 5/9 of her money on a flan and two chicken pies and Victoria has $24 left. This means that 4/9 of total money is 24.
We can represent this information as:
Let us solve for x.
Let us find 5/9 of 54 to figure out the amount spent by Victoria.
Therefore, Victoria spent an amount of $30.
B.
Let C be cost of one chicken pie and F be cost of one flan.
We have been given that each chicken pie cost 1/6 as much as the flan. We can represent this information in an equation as:
We are also told that Victoria's spends 5/9 of her money on a flan and two chicken pies.
We can represent this information as:
Upon substituting C's value in equation (2) we will get,
Now let us have a common denominator.
Therefore, the cost of one flan is $22.50.
