1) Mark and Huong are selling flower bulbs for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy packages tulip bulbs and packages of crocus bulbs. Mark sold 9 packages of tulip bulbs and 1 package of
crocus bulbs for a total of $127. Huong sold 6 packages of tulip bulbs and 6 packages of crocus
bulbs for a total of $186. Find the cost each of one package of tulips bulbs and one package of
crocus bulbs.

Package of tulip bulbs = $12

Package of crocus = $19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b = cost of a package of bulbs

     c = cost of a crocus package

Mark:   (1)   9b + c = 127          Huong:  (2)   6b + 6c = 186

                          c = 127 - 9b                        6b + 6(127 - 9b) = 186

                                                                      6b + 762 - 54b = 186

                                                                                      - 48b = -576

                                                                                           b = 12

                          c = 127 -9(12)

                          c = 127 - 108 = 19
