Question 581988: On Monday,the office staff at your school paid $8.77 for 4 cups of coffee and 7 bagels. On Wednsday, they paid $15.80 for 8 cups of coffee and 14 bagels. Can you determine the cost of a bagel? Explain

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assume that the price of a cup is $x and the prise of a bagel is $y. Solve the system:
system%284x%2B7y=8.77%2C+8x%2B14y=15.8%29. Since this system is inconsistent the
problem doesn't has a solution.
