Part A Steve buys 2 lb of grapefruit and 3 lb of oranges for $7.20. Kennedy buys 4 lb of grapefruit and 2 lb of oranges for $8.80. Let x represent the price
per pound for grapefruit, and let y represent the price per pound for oranges. Choose the system of equations that models the situation.
A. 2x + 3y = 7.20
2x + 4y = 8.80
B. 3x +2y = 7.20
4x + 2y = 8.80
C. 2x + 3y = 7.20
4x + 2y = 8.80
D. 2x + 3y = 8.80
4x + 2y = 7.20
Part B
Steve buys 2 lb of grapefruit and 3 lb of oranges for $7.20. Kennedy buys 4 lb of grapefruit and 2 lb of oranges for $8.80. Let x represent the price
per pound for grapefruit, and let y represent the price per pound for oranges. Use the system of equations from Part A to find the price per pound
for oranges
