Subtract 3/100 to both sides:
Cross multiply:
Divide 100 to both sides:
Or we could just multiply both sides of the equation by 100, to give us:
Subtract 3 to both sides:
20%, because if 65 is 100, then 52 is 80% out of 65; so 100 - 80 is 20

Answer:
One avocado costs $1 and one tomato costs $0.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a system of equations where t is the number of tomatoes and a is the number of avocados:
4t + 8a = 10
6t + 14a = 17
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by -2:
12t + 24a = 30
-12t - 28a = -34
Add them together and solve for a:
-4a = -4
a = 1
Plug in 1 as a into one of the equations and solve for t:
4t + 8a = 10
4t + 8(1) = 10
4t + 8 = 10
4t = 2
t = 0.5
So, one avocado costs $1 and one tomato costs $0.50
