Respuesta :

Answer:

assuming the prices did not change during the day,

8o+g=460

6o+3g=480

18o=900

o=50

g=60

so, oranges cost $0.50, grapefruit cost $0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

do good !

Answer:

oranges $0.5   grapefruit 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

o = oranges

g= grapefruit

      8o +1 g = 4.60

      6o+3g= 4.80

Multiply the first by  -3

-24o -3g = -13.80

6o    +3g  = 4.80

ADD    BOTH  (3g will be cancelled)

-18o = -9.00

    o = 9/18 = 0.5

8(0.5) +1g= 4.60

4.00 +g = 4.60

g = 0.60
