Question

Stan bought 3 boxes of fruit loops and 2 boxes of kix for $15.05. One box of fruit loops cost $0.60 more than one box of kix. How much does one box of each type of cereal cost

Answer 1

3 f + 2 k = 15.05

f = k + .6

3(k+.6) + 2 k = 15.05

5 k + 1.8 = 15.05

k = 2.65 for kix
f = k+.6 = 3.25
