Answer: [tex]\$1.45[/tex]; [tex]\$3.6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
A dozen roses in a gift box costs $21
Similarly, 20 roses in a gift box costs $32.6
Suppose the price of single rose and gift box is [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex]
[tex]\therefore 12x+y=21\quad \ldots(i)\\\Rightarrow 20x+y=32.6\quad \ldots(ii)[/tex]
Solving (i) and (ii) , we get
[tex]x=\$1.45;y=\$3.6[/tex]
Thus, the price of the one rose is [tex]\$1.45[/tex] and the price of gift box is [tex]\$3.6[/tex]
