Jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham. she pays a total of $30, and the turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham. what would be the combined cost of 1 pound of turkey and 1 pound of ham?

Let

x-------> the cost of turkey per pound

y-------> the cost of ham per pound

Step

Find the values of x and y

we know that

--------> equation

--------> equation

substitute equation in equation

per pound

Find the value of x

per pound

Step

Find the combined cost of pound of turkey and pound of ham

therefore

the answer is

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.
