A small fruit basket with 6 apples and 6 oranges costs $7.50. a different fruit basket with 10 apples and 5 oranges costs $8.75. if x is the cost of one apple and y is the cost of one orange, the system of equations below can be used to determine the cost of one apple and one orange. 6x 6y = 7.50 10x 5y = 8.75

Answer 1

answer: B

Answer 2

From the given equations below,

                          (1) 6x + 6y = 7.50
                          (2) 10x + 5y = 8.75

Solving for the values of x and y simultaneously gives an answer of x = 0.5 and y = 0.75.
Thus, the cost of apples and oranges are $0.5 and $0.75, respectively.
