A cup and saucer together cost N$ 20.50 . A cup and two saucer cost N$ 27.00 . Find the cost of the cup and the saucer.

Sagot :

Answer: Cup-$14, Saucer-$6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cup and saucer costs $20.5

A cup and two saucer costs $27

Assume the price of cup and saucer are x and y

So, we can write

[tex]\Rightarrow x+y=20.5\quad \ldots(i)\\\\\Rightarrow x+2y=27\quad \ldots(ii)[/tex]

Solving [tex](i)\ \text{and}\ (ii)[/tex] we get

[tex]x=\$\ 14, y=\$\ 6.5[/tex]

Thus, the cost of the cup is $14 and that of the saucer is $6.5
