A store sells two different fruit baskets with mangos and kiwis. The first basket has 2 mangos and 3 kiwis for $9.00. The second basket has 5 mangos and 2 kiwis for $14.25. Find the cost of each type of fruit.

kiwis = $1.5

mangoes = $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Two equations can be derived from the question

2m + 3k = 9 equation 1

5m + 2k = 14.25 equation 2

m = mangoes

k = kiwis

multiply equation 1 by 5 and 2 by 2

10m + 15k = 45 equation 3

10m +4k = 28.5 equation 4

Subtract equation 4 from 3

11k = 16.5

k = 1.5

Substitute for k in equation 1

2m + 3(1.5) = 9

2m + 4.5 = 9

2m = 4.5

m = 2.25

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
