Answer 1

Answer:

s =$10, l = 15, together they are $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Alberto: 1s + 1l = 25

Kali: 3s + 9l = 165

Multiply Alberto x 3: 3s + 3l = 75

Subtract from Kali:

 3s + 9l = 165

- 3s + 3l = 75

         6l = 90

l = 15, Large = $15.

Substitute into one of the equations: s + l = 25

s + 15 = 25

s = 10
