find the price of 1 cheesecake and 1 pizza

Question

Dan and Barry are selling cheesecakes and pizzas for a school fundraiser. Dan sold 8 cheesecakes and 6 pizzas for a total of $184. Barry sold 10 cheesecakes and 3 pizzas for a total of $140. What is the cost of 1 cheesecake and 1 pizza?

Your answer

Answer 1

8x + 6y = 184

divide by 2

4x + 3y = 92

10x + 3y = 140

subtract to eliminate 1 variable

10x-4x = 140-92

6x = 48

x = 48/6 =$8 for a cheese steak

3y = 92-4x = 92-32 =60

y = 60/3 =$20 for a pizza

x+y = 8+20 = $28 for 1 of each

Answer 2

8c + 6p = 184

10c + 3p = 140

Can you solve for c or p and answr?
