Answer 1

Answer:

8 lb of flounder at $2.50/lb

4 lb of shrimp at $5.00/lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the pounds of shrimp

Let B be the pounds of flounder

Let C be the cost per pound of flounder

A + B = 12

A = 12 - B

        BC = 20

    A(2C) = 20

BC =  A(2C)

BC =  (12 - B)(2C)

BC =  24C - 2BC

3BC =  24C

  3B =  24

    B = 8 lb

A + 8 = 12

    A = 4 lb
