6/y=9/5(due to similarity)
y=6*5/9=30/9=10/3=3.333..
Cost of one hosta is $5 and cost of one geranium is $9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Cost of one hosta = x
Cost of one geranium = y
According to given statement;
13x+3y=92 Eqn 1
6x+14y=156 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 6
Multiplying Eqn 2 by 13
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 4
Dividing both sides by 164
Putting y=9 in Eqn 2
Dividing both sides by 6
Cost of one hosta is $5 and cost of one geranium is $9.
