Stuff Mart sells ice cream toppings in two different packages. Package one has eight blueberry and three strawberry toppings for 22$. Packages two has four blueberry and seven strawberry toppings for 22$. Find the cost of each topping.

Cost for blueberry toppings = x = $2

Cost for strawberry toppings = y = $2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

Cost for blueberry toppings = x

Cost for strawberry toppings = y

Stuff Mart sells ice cream toppings in two different packages.

Package one has eight blueberry and three strawberry toppings for 22$.

8x + 3y = 22 Equation 1

Packages two has four blueberry and seven strawberry toppings for 22$.

4x + 7y = 22 Equation 2

Combining both Equations

8x + 3y = 22 Equation 1

4x + 7y = 22 Equation 2

Multiply Equation 1 by 4 and Equation 2 8 to eliminate x

32x + 12x = 88 Equation 3

32x + 56x = 176 Equation 4

Subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4

44x = 88

x = 88/44

x = $2

Solving for y

Using Equation 1

8x + 3y = 22 Equation 1

8(2) + 3y = 22

16 + 3y = 22

3y = 22 - 16

3y = 6

y = 6/3

y = $2

Therefore, the cost of each topping:

Cost for blueberry toppings = x = $2

Cost for strawberry toppings = y = $2
