Algebra-2

To determine which system of equations best describes the situation, we need to define the variables:

1.Let ( p ) represent the price per pound of peaches.

2.Let ( s ) represent the price per pound of strawberries.

3.Let ( c ) represent the price per pound of cherries.

 

Next, we can create equations based on the information provided:

Sophie buys 3 lbs of peaches and 1 lb of strawberries for $5.00:

3p + 1s = 5 (Equation 1)

 

Sophie buys 2 lbs of peaches and 2 lbs...
