Question 766369: 4) A choc frog is 11 cents dearer than a green frog. 3 Green frogs and 2 choc frogs cost 0.57cents. What is the cost of a choc frog in cents? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Green frog costs x cents
Chocolate frog costs 11 + x cents
3 green frogs + 2 chocolate frogs cost 57cents
3(x) + 2(11 + x) = 57
3x + 22 + 2x = 57
5x = 57 - 22
5x = 35
x = 7
Green Frog costs 7 cents
Chocolate Frog costs 18cents.
Hope this helps.
