Answer:
x = cost of each gift basket = $14.5
y = one time delivery fee = $135
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = cost of each gift basket
y = one time delivery fee
40x + y = 715 (1)
400x + y = 5935 (2)
Subtract (1) from (2)
400x - 40x = 5935 - 715
360x = 5220
x = 5220/360
x = 14.5
Substitute x = 14.5 into (1)
40x + y = 715 (1)
40(14.5) + y = 715
580 + y = 715
y = 715 - 580
y = 135
x = cost of each gift basket = $14.5
y = one time delivery fee = $135
First, multiply the first equation by 2.
That turns the first equation into:
6x - 2y = 18
That way it can easily be added to the second equation:
6x - 2y = 16
x + 2y = 5
---------------
7x = 21
==========
As you can see, the y disappeared, which was the objective of this operation.
Now the equations can be solved easily:
7x = 21
x = 3
Insert x=3 in the original equation:
3*3 - y = 8
9 - y = 8
9 = 8 + y
y = 1
So the result is:
x = 3
y = 1
