Question 232281
Hello, 
Set up the following. 
6 times b would give the cost of the bananas where b is the price of one banana. 
3 times k would be the cost for the kiwis. Total is $3.36 The equation is:
6b + 3k = $3.36   
The other equation would look like this: 
2b + 5k = $3.04   Let's multiply this equation by -3 so to get 2b into -6b then we'll add both equations together. 
 6b + 3k = $3.36
-6b -15k = -9.12
We add the two above equations to get: 
    -12k = -5.76   Solve for k by dividing -12 into both sides.

       k = .48  So the kiwi costs $0.48 each. Plug this into one of the original equations to look like this: 
6b + 3(.48) = $3.36   Subtract $1.44 from both sides.
6b = $1.92            Divide each side by 6
 b = $.32             So the bananas each cost $0.32
Kiwis cost $0.48 each
Bananas cost $0.32 each
