Kendra's charge per car in the toy store is $1.8.

What is the system of equations?

"Systems of equations, sometimes called simultaneous equations, are a group of relationships between various unknown variables that can be expressed in terms of algebraic expressions".

For the given situation,

Let the number of cars be 'x' and

The number of candy be 'y'

$5.00 for two cars and one piece of candy

$3.2 for one car and one piece of candy

System of the equation for the above case

Equation 1:

[tex]2x + y = 5[/tex]

Equation 2:

[tex]x + y = 3.2[/tex]

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1,

⇒ [tex]x=1.8[/tex]

On substituting x in equation 2, we get

⇒ [tex]y=3.2-1.8[/tex]

⇒ [tex]y=1.4[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that Kendra's charge per car is $1.8.
