Gail bought 5 pounds of oranges and 2 pounds of bananas for $14. Her husband later bought 3 pounds of oranges and 6 pounds of bananas for $18. What was the cost per pound of the oranges and the bananas?
Let the price of a pound of oranges =O
Let the price of a pound of bananas =B
5O + 2B = 14..................................(1)
3O + 6B = 18..................................(2)
So, now you have 2 simultaneous equations. Can you solve them?
