Question

One coffee and two slices of cake cost 8 dollars in total. Two coffees and 3 slices of cake cost 14 dollars in total. What are the individual prices of one coffee and of one slice of cake?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

coffee=c

cakes=d

c+2d=8

2c+3d=14

c=8-2d

2(8-2d)+3d=14

16-4d+3d=14

-d=-2

d=2

c+4=8

c=4

coffee=4 dollars each

cakes=2 dollars each
