Mary pays $38 for 2 pounds of apples, 1 pound of berries, and 4 pounds of cherries. tom pays $35 for 3 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of berries, and lee pays $49 for 5 pounds of apples, 3 pounds of berries, and 2 pounds of cherries. what is the price per pound for each type of fruit?

The price of 1 pound of apple = $ 3

The price of 1 pound of berries = $ 8

The price of 1 pound of cherries = $ 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 pound of apple be x

The price of 1 pound of berries be y

The price of 1 pound of cherries be z

So,

2 x + y + 4 z = 38  1

3 x + 2 y + 2 z= 35  2 (Corrected from source)

5 x + 3 y + 2 z = 49 3

Solving the equations, we get that:

x = 3, y = 8, z = 5

8

step-by-step explanation:

just put √(2) * √(32) into a calculator. that will make the answer be 8.

i agree because i see the other persons thinking is clear
