<PRE><B>Question 1061799</B>
Peaches are $2 per pound and mangos are $4 per pound.   Joel bought a total of 10 pounds of fruit for $33.  How many pounds of each did he get?
----------
P + M = 10 (pounds)
2P + 4M = 33 (dollars)
-----
M = 10 - P
Sub for M in the 2nd equation.
2P + 4*(10-P) = 33
2P + 40 -4P = 33
-2P = -7
P = 3.5 pounds
M = 6.5 pounds</PRE>
