Chen is bringing fruit and veggies to serve at an afternoon meeting. He spends a total of $28.70 on 5 pints of cut veggies and 7

pints of cut fruit. The food cost is modeled by the equation 5v + 7f = 28.70, where v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies and f represents the cost of one pint of cut fruit. If the cost of each pint of fruit is $2.85, what is the approximate price of a pint of veggies? (Round to the nearest cent.)

The answer would be $1.75 (Rounded off to the nearest cent).

Substitute the given cost of each pint of fruit to the equation. Transpose and simplify, to get the price of a pint of veggies.
Given: 5v + 7f = 28.70; f = $2.85
Solution: 5v + 7(2.85) = 28.70
5v + 19.95 = 28.70
5v = 8.75
v = 1.75
