Answer 1

Answer:

Plain is $7 and Holiday is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Castel: 2p + 5h = 89

Kali: 9p + 10h = 213

Double Castel's: 4p + 10h = 178

Subtract fro Kali's   9p + 10h = 213

                              - 4p + 10h = 178

5p = 35

p = 7  Plain is $7

Substitute 7 into one of the equations and solve for h:

2(7) + 5h = 89

14 + 5h = 89

5h = 75

h = 15  Holiday is $15
