A small bag of trail mix contains 3 cups of dried fruit and 4 cups of almonds.A large bag contains 41/2 cups of dried fruit and 6 cups of almonds. Write and solve a system of linear equations to find the price of 1 cup of dried fruit and 1 cup of almonds if the Price of small bag is $6 while $9 for large bag.
Accepted Solution
A:
Let's call: f = price of 1 cup of dried fruit a = price of 1 cup of almonds
In order to build the linear system, you need to consider that the total price of a bag is given by the sum of the price of cups times the number of cups in each bag, therefore:
