Answer:
<u>The honey costs US$ 0.45 per ounce</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given for solve the question:
Cost of the honey at the supermarket = US$ 5.40
Weight of the honey bought by the customer = 12 ounces
2. This is the formula to find out the cost per ounce:
Cost per ounce = Cost of the honey/Weight of the honey bought by the customer
Cost per ounce = 5.40/12
Cost per ounce = 0.45
<u>The honey costs US$ 0.45 per ounce</u>
This should be easy because we just have to use substitution method. Substitute the value of x from the second equation into the x of the first equation.
-4(2y) + 11y = 15
-8y + 11y = 15
3y = 15 ; y = 5
Substitute this value of y to either the first or second equation.
x = 2(5) = 10
The ordered pair is therefore (10,5).
