Anna and Celine buy fruit. Anna pays $3.66 for 4 apples and 3 peaches. Celine pays $4.00 for 2 apples and 5 peaches. What is the price for one apple? Write your answer in dollars?

Question

how much is each apple?

Answer 1

2A +5P = 400

4A +3P = 366

20A +15P = 1830

6A + 15P = 1200

14A = 630

A = 630/14 = 45 cents for an apple = $0.45

3P = 366 - 4A = 366 -4(45) = 366-180 = 186

3P = 186

P = 186/3 = 62 cents for a pear = $0.62

2(45) + 5(62 = 90 + 310 = 400

4(45) + 3(62) = 180+186 = 366
