What is the cost of one donut? What is the cost of one large coffee?
------
6d+2c = 510 cents
5d+3c = 549 cents
-------------------
Modify for elimination::
30d + 10c = 2550
30d + 18c = 3294
--------
8c = 744
c = 93 cents
The cost of one large coffee is $0.93
18d + 6c = 1530
10d + 6c = 1098
------
8d = 432
d = 54 cents
The cost of one donut is $0.54
