Respuesta :

The cost of one pounds of salmon is 10 dollars and one pound of tuna is 6 dollars.

How to find the cost using equations?

One order was for 11 pounds of salmon and 6 pound of tuna; the order totalled $146.

The other order was for 8 pounds of salmon and 4 pound of tuna; this order totalled $104.

lets

x = cost for one pound of salmon

y = cost of one pound of tuna

Therefore,

11x + 6y = 146

8x + 4y = 104

11x + 6y = 146

12x + 6y = 156

x = 10

11(10) + 6y = 146

110 + 6y = 146

6y = 146 - 110

6y = 36

y = 36 / 6

y = 6
