Khloe and her children went into a grocery store and she bought $6 worth of apples and bananas. Each apple costs $1.50 and each banana costs $0.30. She bought a total of 8 apples and bananas altogether. Determine the number of apples, 2, and the number of bananas, y, that Khloe bought.
Write as system:
a = apples
b = bananas
1.5a + 0.3b = 6
a+b = 8
1.5a + 1.5b = 12
1.5a + 1.5b = 12
1.5a + 0.3b = 6
1.2b = 6
b = 5
Now plug 5 into the second equation and solve for a
