Pete purchased 5 drinks and 6 snacks and spent a total of $22.50. Jaime purchased 1 drink and 9 snacks and spent a total of 24.75 each drink costs the same amount. Each snack costs the same amount write a system of linear equations that can be used to find thr coet of one drink and one snack.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 5 drinks and 6 snacks = $22.50

Cost of 1 drink and 9 snacks = $24.75

Each drink costs the same and each snack costs the same.

Let cost of each drink = $

Let cost of each snack = $

As per the question, writing the system of equations:

Let us use elimination method, to find the cost of each drink and cost of each snack.

Multiplying equation (2) by 5 and then subtracting equation (1) from it:

Using equation (1):

Cost of each drink = $1.38

Cost of each snack = $2.60
