Mariah spent $9.50 on 9 pounds of limes and pears. Limes cost $0.50 per pound and pears cost $1.50 per pound. Let l be the numbe
r of pounds of limes and let p be the number of pounds of pears.
The system of linear equations that models this scenario is:
l + p = 9
0.5l + 1.5p = 9.5
How many pounds of each type of fruit did she buy?
1 answer:
Answer:
4 pounds of lime and 5 pounds of pears
Step-by-step explanation:
I + P = 9
0.5l + 1.5P = 9.5
I = 9 - P
0.5(9 - P) + 1.5P = 9.5
4.5-0.5P + 1.5P = 9.5
4.5 + P (1P) = 9.5
P = 9.5-4.5 = 5
I = 9 - 5 = 4
Answer: 4 pounds of lime and 5 pounds of pears
