Answer:
Could you post a picture of the question?
Answer:
No, because their respective prices are $0.75 and $2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that the price of each pretzels is x and the price of each soda is y
3x + 4y = 11.25_____ equation 1
5x + 2y = 8.25_____ equation 2
Multiply equation 2 by the figure 2 so as to have both equation sharing the same coefficient of y
10x + 4y = 16.5____ equation 1
3x + 4y = 11.25____ equation 2
Now subtract equation 2 from 1
7x = 5.25
X = 5.25/7
X = 0.75
Now substitute x = 0.75 in equation 1
10x + 4y = 16.5
10(0.75) + 4y = 16.5
7.5 + 4y = 16.5
4y = 16.5 - 7.5
4y = 9
Y = 2.25
Therefore,the cost of each pretzels is $0.75 while that of soda is $2.25
1. EQUAL TO
2. LESS THAN
