Question 499438: On Monday, Mr. Toad bought 10 gourmet flies and 4 gourmet worms for $34. On Tuesday he bought 6 gourmet flies and 12 gourmet worms for $30. Find the price of a gourmet fly and the price of a gourmet worm. (use a 5 step solution with two variables.) I tried working this out. Got 1.30 for the worms and 2.88 for the flies. This doesn't check out. I can guess $3.00 for flies and $1 for worms, it works out with a check, but the problem doesn't set up to that at all. I am lost please help.

10 F + 4 W = 34
6 F + 12 W = 30
30 F + 12 W = 102
24 F = 72
F = $3
30 + 4 W = 34
W = $1
