are at a fruit stand. They each buy
apples and oranges, and the total
cost of their purchases is
$21.30. However, Alice buys 2
apples and 3 oranges, while Bob
buys 3 apples and 2 oranges. If the
cost of an apple is $[/tex]2.50 and
the cost of an orange is $1.80, how
many apples and oranges did Alice
and Bob each buy? To solve this,
we can set up a system of
equations: Let x
represent the number of apples
and y
represent the number of oranges.
