At competing grocery stores, bananas are 80 cents a pound at the first store and 85 cents a pound at the second store. Apples ar
e 3 dollars a pound at the first store and 2.50 dollars a pound at the second store. Suppose you buy x pounds of bananas and y pounds of apples at each store. You end up spending 10 dollars at the first store and 12 dollars at the second store.
Which system of equations represents the amount of money you spend on bananas and apples at each store?
What you would do is you would keep subtracting (I recommend a calculator for this task) from both accounts until you get an equal amount for each. You would also have to record this down that way you know each time what you got. (And please do not put the calculator part). Really hope this helps!!!
