Natalie is planning a summer pool party and need some fresh fruit like a fruit stand has watermelons for five dollars each and strawberries for three dollars per pint Natalie purchase 13 items and spent $45 on fruit snacks how much of each fruit did she buy

Therefore Natalie bought   3 water melons  and  10 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

let watermelons be represented by w

and strawberries be represented by s

Step 2

5w +3s = $45eqn 1

w+s=13eqn 2

Making w subject of formulae and substituting in equation 2

w= 13-s

5(13-s) + 3s=45

65-5s+3s =45

65-45=5s-3s

20=2s

s=20/2=10

substituting s=10  in equation 2

w +10=13

w= 13-10

w=3

Therefore Natalie bought   3 water melons  and  10 strawberries
