Answer:
Cost of small box of oranges = 7
Cost of small box of oranges = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1) Let the cost of small box of oranges = x
Let the cost of small box of oranges = y
Step 2)
Equation 1) Matt sells 3 small boxes and 14 large boxes for Php. 203
3x + 14y = 203 -------------------(I)
Equation 2) Ming sells 11 small boxes and 11 large boxes for Php. 220
11x + 11y = 220 ----------------(II)
Step 3:
Multiply equation (I) by 11 and equation (II) by (-3).
(I)*11 33x + 154y = 2233
(II)*(-3) <u>-33x - 33y = -660 </u> {Now add and x will be eliminated}
121y = 1573
y = 1573/121
y = 13
Substitute y = 13 in equation (II)
11x + 11*13 = 220
11x + 143 = 220
11x = 220 - 143
11x = 77
x = 77/11
x = 7
