Cost of one cherry pie is $ 9 and cost of one lemon meringue is $ 12
Solution:Let "c" be the cost of one cherry pie
Let "m" be the cost of one lemon meringue
Given that Jose sold 17 cherry pies and 14 lemon meringue for a total of $321
We can frame a equation as:
17 cherry pies x cost of one cherry pie + 14 lemon meringue x cost of one lemon meringue = $ 321
17c + 14m = 321 ------- eqn 1
Jill sold 9 cherry pies and 5 lemon meringue pies for a total of $141
9 cherry pies x cost of one cherry pie + 5 lemon meringue x cost of one lemon meringue = $ 141
9c + 5m = 141 -------- eqn 2
Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "c" and "m"
Multiply eqn 1 by 5
85c + 70m = 1605 ----- eqn 3
Multiply eqn 2 by 14
126c + 70m = 1974 ------- eqn 4
Subtract eqn 3 from eqn 4
126c + 70m = 1974
85c + 70m = 1605
(-) -------------------
41c = 369
c = 9Substitute c = 9 in eqn 1
17c + 14m = 321
17(9) + 14m = 321
14m = 369 - 153
14m = 168
m = 12Thus the cost of one cherry pie is $ 9 and cost of one lemon meringue is $ 12
