at edgars bakery one customer buys 4 donuts and 10 muffins for $32. Another customer buys 12 donuts and 5 muffins and pays $21.

x=price of donut
y=price of muffin

1. Write an equation to represent the first customer

2.write an equation to represent the 2nd customer

3.solve system of equations

Respuesta :

Based on the information given, the price of donut will be 1.5 and the price of muffin is 3.8.

The equation to represent the first customer is 4x + 10y = 32

The equation to represent the 2nd customer is 12x + 5y = 21

Solving the equations will be:

4x + 10y = 32 ...... i

12x + 5y = 21 ......ii

Multiply equation i by 12

Multiply equation ii by 4

48x + 120y = 384

48x + 20y = 84

100y = 380

y = 380/100 = 3.8

Therefore, we'll find the value for x which will be:

4x + 10y = 32

4x + 10(3.8) = 32

4x = 32 - 38

4x = -6

x = -1.5

Therefore, the price of donuts will be 1.5 and the price of muffin is 3.8.
