Something's wrong! Both bananas and pumpkins are FRUITS, so no vegetables are mentioned. You must have meant this instead: The cost of bananas is $5 per kilogram, while the cost of pumpkins is $3 per kilogram. If twice the amount of bananas was bought than pumpkins and the total cost was $130, how many of each were bought? If so thenBy substitution substitute 2P for B in 5B+3P = 130 5(2P) + 3P = 130 10P + 3P = 130 13P = 130 P = 10 kilos of pumpkins Substitute (10) for P in B = 2P B = 2(10) B = 20 kilos of bananas ----------------------------------- Edwin
