 The correct option is (B) $4.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that William buys two bags of peaches and three bags of apricots for $17 and Sylvia buys four bags of peaches and two bags of apricots for $22 from the same store.

We are to find the cost of one bag of peaches.

Let $x and $y be the cost of one bag of peaches and one bag of apricots respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

Multiplying equation (i) by 2, we have

Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (iii), we get

Substituting the value of y in equation (i), we get

Thus, the cost of one bag of peaches is $4.
