8) Lea and Elisa each improved their yards by planting hostas and geraniums. They
bought their supplies from the same store. Lea spent $69 on 11 hostas and 7
geraniums, Elisa spent $64 on 10 hostas and 7 geraniums. What is the cost of one
hosta and the cost of one geranium?

hosta = $5 each

geranium = $2 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

Leas's cost: 11 h + 7 g = 69

Elisa’s cost: 10h + 7g = 64

Where h is the price of one hosta and g is the price of one geranium.

Subtracting Elisa's cost to Leas's cost:

11 h + 7 g = 69

-

10h + 7g = 64

h = $5

Replacing h in one equation:

11 (5) + 7 g = 69

55 +7g =69

7g = 69-55

7g= 14

g= 14/7

g= $2
