On Monday, Josh went to the Farmer's Market. He bought 55 peaches and 22 watermelons for $7.75.. On Thursday, Josh went back to the Farmer's Market and bought 33 peaches and 44 watermelons for $10.95. What systems of equations can be used to determine the cost for one peach (p)(p) and one watermelon (w)?

The system of equations is

When solved

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of one peach =p

Let the price of one watermelon=w

On Monday, bought 5 peaches and 2 watermelons for $7.75.

On Thursday, Josh went back to the Farmer's Market and bought 3 peaches and 4 watermelons for $10.95.

The system of equation that could be used to solve for the price of one peach (p) and one watermelon (w) is therefore:

To solve this, Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second equation by 2.

Subtract

14p=9.1

Divide both sides by 14

p=$0.65

Next, we substitute p=$0.65 in any equation to obtain w.

5p+2w=7.75

5(0.65)+2w=7.75

2w=7.75-3.25

2w=4.5

w=$2.25

Therefore:

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
