Answer:
Cost of Turkey per pound is $ 1.25 and Ham is $ 1.65.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cindy:
cost of 12.3 pound Turkey and 11.7 pound Ham = $ 34.68
Samantha:
cost of 10.7 pound Turkey and 9.5 pound Ham = $ 29.05
Let the cost of one pound of Turkey is T and one pound of Ham is H.
So,
12.3 T + 11.7 H = 34.68 ..... (1)
10.7 T + 9.5 H = 29.05 ......(2)
Solve both these equations, we get
T = $ 1.25 and H = $ 1.65
