Question #3ebcc

Answer 1

Cherry pie = $11
Pumpkin pie = $12

Explanation:

Let's call cherry pie as c and pumpkin pie as p.

`8c + 6p = $160` Eqn 1
`8c + 5p = $148` Eqn 2

Subtract Eqn 2 from 1,
`cancel(8c) - cancel(8c )+ 6p -5p = 160 - 148`
`6p - 5p = 160 - 148`

`p = $12`

Substituting value of p in Eqn 1,
`8c + (6*12) = 160`
`8c = 160 - 72`
`8c = 88`
`c = $11`
