Question

Dave buys 3 green peppers and 2 red peppers for $3.45. Ruth buys 4 green peppers and 3 red peppers for $ 5.00. Find the price of each variety of pepper.

Answer 1

let g be the price of green peppers and r be the price of red peppers.

3*g + 2*r = 3.45
4*g + 3*r = 5.00

Use algebra to solve for g and r

Answer 2

3*g+2*r=3.45
