---------
5p + 1m = 2p + 2m
m = 0.75
5p + 0.75 = 2p + 1.50
3p = 0.75
p = 0.25

5 pears and 1 mango cost as much as 2 pears and 2 mangoes.
5p + 1m = 2p + 2m
5p - 2p = 2m - 1m
3p = m
p = m
If each mango costs 0.75, therefore
p = .75/3
p = .25
find the total cost of 100 pears and 450 mangoes.
100(.25) = $25
450(.75) = $337.50
---------------------
total cost:$362.50
