Stuff mart sells ice cream toppings in two different packages. Package one has eight blueberry toppings for $22. Package two has four blueberry and seven strawberry toppings for $22. Find the cost of each topping

Respuesta :

Answer:

the cost of the blueberry packing be $2.75 and the cost of the strawberry topping be $1.57

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume the blueberry topping be x

And, the strawberry topping be y

Now as per the question

8x = $22

Divide by 2 to the both sides

4x = $11

x = $11 ÷ 4

= $2.75

And,

4x + 7y = $22

Now put the x value in the above equation

4 × (11 ÷ 4) + 7y = $22

11 + 7y = $22

7y = $22 - $11

7y = $11

y = $11 ÷ 7

= $1.57

Hence, the cost of the blueberry packing be $2.75 and the cost of the strawberry topping be $1.57
