Emily and Molly are selling pies for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy cherry pies and lemon pies. Emily sold 4 cherry pies and 1 lemon pie for a total of $30. Molly sold 8 cherry pies and 6 lemon pies for a total of $100. What is the cost for one CHERRY and LEMON pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

let cherry be x

and lemon be y

the systems of the equation for the solution is given as

4x+y=301

8x+6y=1002

Step two:

solve the equation simultaneously by substitution we have

4x+y=30

y=30-4x

put y=30-4x in equation 2

8x+6(30-4x)=100

8x+180-24x=100

8x-24x=100-180

-16x=-80

x=80/16

x=5

put x=4 in y=30-4x

y=30-4(5)

y=30-20

y=10

location: point 0

step-by-step explanation:

well, -8 to 10 on a number line is 18 spaces.

1/9 of 18 is 2.

so, 4/9 of 18 must be 8.

8 spaces from -8 (a) is 0.

so, 4/9 of the way from -8 to 10 is 0!
