Lydia buys 5 pounds of apples and 3 pounds of bananas for a total of $8.50. ari buys 3 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of bananas for a total of $5.25. determine a system of equations that represents the given the situation. let x be cost per pound of apples and let y be the cost per pound of bananas. which equation represents the amount of money lydia spent of apples and bananas? which equation represents the amount of money ari spent on apples and bananas?

Part A) Lydia's equation

Part B) Ari's equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the cost per pounds of apples

y-----> the cost per pounds of bananas

Step 1

Find the equation that represent the amount of money Lydia spent of apples and bananas

-----> equation A

Step 2

Find the equation that represent the amount of money Ari spent of apples and bananas

-----> equation B

Using a graphing tool

solve the system of linear equations

Remember that

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

see the attached figure

the solution is

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*
