The cost of each stone sphere is $ 36.81
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
An architect plans to buy 5 stone spheres and 3 stone cylinders
For the same amount, she can buy 2 stone spheres and 6 stone cylinders
Let "x" be that same amount
Let "a" be the cost of each stone sphere
Cost of each stone cylinder = $ 36.81
Therefore,
x = 5 stone spheres and 3 stone cylinders
x = 5a + 3(36.81)
Similarly,
x = 2 stone spheres and 6 stone cylinders
x = 2a + 6(36.81)
Equate both,
Thus cost of each stone sphere is $ 36.81
