Question

Miles and MR buying jammin pies at a farmstand Mrs. Moore sells all jam jars of jam for the same price she also sells all of her pies for the same price Miles pay 3750 for five jars of jam two pies and then pay 4050 for four jars of jam and three pies write a system of equations that can be used to determine the cost of one jar of jam and the cost of one pie

Answer 1

Let x be the cost of 1 jar of jam and y be the cost of 1 pie.

From the information given, we can write the following two equations:

5x + 2y = 3750
4x + 3y = 4050

These equations represent the total cost of 5 jars of jam and 2 pies being $3750, and the total cost of 4 jars of jam and 3 pies being $4050.

These equations can be used to solve for the cost of 1 jar of jam and 1 pie.
