Question 940986: Dean buys 4 candy bars and a pack of gum for $2.75
Robin buys 2 candy bars and 3 packs of gums for $2.25. What is the cost of each item? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4b + g = 2.75 -2(2b + 3g = 2.25)
-5g = -1.75
g = $0.35 and b= $0.60
...
And...checking
2b + 3g = 2.25
$1.20 + $1.05 = $2.25
