Given 4 apples and 4 oranges cost = $10.
6 apples and 6 oranges = $12.
Let us assume cost of each apple = $x.
Cost of each orange = $y.
4 apples and 4 oranges cost can be given by equation:
4x+4y = 10.
Dividing both sides by 4, we get
x+y = 2.50 ---------------equation (1)
6 apples and 6 oranges cost can be given by equation:
6x+6y = 12.
Dividing both sides by 6, we get
x+y =2 ---------------equation (2).
We can see from equation (1) and equation (2), that x+y equals 2 and 2.5.
But that doesn't seem to be true.
So, we could just say that we can't find a unique price for an apple and an orange for the given information.
