Asmall fruit basket with 6 apples and 6 oranges costs $7.50. a different fruit basket with 10 apples and 5 oranges costs $8.75. if x is the cost of one apple and y is the cost of one orange, the system of equations below can be used to determine the cost of one apple and one orange. 6x + 6y = 7.50. 10x + 5y = 8.75. what is the cost of one apple?

step-by-step explanation:

one day the were 5 ducks, and their king told them to multiply their kingdom. so each went their own seperate way and met 4 other ducks on their journey.

when the ducks returned to their kingdom, it was discovered that there were 5 groups of 5 ducks. when the kind counted the number of ducks in total (including the ones he sent out earlier) he counted 25.

therefore 5 times 5 is 25.

the end. : )
