Samantha and her children went into a grocery store and she bought $7 worth of bananas and peaches. Each banana costs $0.40 and each peach costs $0.50. She bought a total of 15 bananas and peaches altogether. Determine the number of bananas and the number of peaches that Samantha bought.
+36916 b = bananas cost 40 b
p = peaches = 15-b cost 50(15-b) summed = 700 (700 cents)
40 b + 50(15-b) = 700 solve for 'b' the number of bananas then # peaches = 15-b
