Let
x-------------> <span>the price of each cup
</span>y-------------> the price of each plate
we know that
5x+3y=28.50----------> equation 1
and
x=y-6.30--------------> equation 2
I substitute 2 in 1
5*(y-6.30)+3y=28.50---------> 5y-31.5+3y=28.5-----> 8y=60
y=7.5
x=y-6.3---------> x=7.5-6.3---------> x=1.2
the answer is
the price of each cup is $1.2
the price of each plate is $7.5
One Way:
We can change the mixed number to a decimal for comparing.

m =

m = 1.25 m
1.4 m > 1.25 m
Darren > Luke
Darren's jump was higher by (1.4-1.25)
0.15 m
Or another way change the decimal to a fraction and the mixed to an improper fraction too.

=

(Luke)
1.4 =

(Darren)
We need a common denominator to compare

(Luke)

(Darren)

(Luke)

(Darren)

Darren > Luke
By:

-

=

Which is also by
0.15 m
Darren jumps higher and by 0.15 m
