Haddasah and Devon went shopping together. Haddasah bought 6 oranges and 5 lemons for $5.67. Devon bought 3 oranges and 7 lemons for $4.32. Their purchases can be modeled by a system of equations. A. Write a system of equations that represents this situation. Define the variables.

Define variables:

x = Cost of orange

y= Cost of lemon

System of equations that represents this situation:

6x+5y = 5.67

3x+7y = 4.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Cost of orange

y= Cost of lemon

Cost of both = (Number of oranges) x (Cost of orange) + (Number of lemons) x (Cost of lemon)

As per given,

6x+5y = 5.67

3x+7y = 4.32

Hence, system of equations that represents this situation:

6x+5y = 5.67

3x+7y = 4.32
