One coffee and two slices of cake cost 8 dollars in total. Two coffees and 3 slices of cake cost 14 dollars in total. What are the individual prices of one coffee and of one slice of cake?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

coffee=c

cakes=d

c+2d=8

2c+3d=14

c=8-2d

2(8-2d)+3d=14

16-4d+3d=14

-d=-2

d=2

c+4=8

c=4

coffee=4 dollars each

cakes=2 dollars each

The price of coffee is $4 and price of slice of cake is $2.

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides. LHS = RHS is a common mathematical formula.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given:

One coffee and two slices of cake cost 8 dollars in total.

Two coffees and 3 slices of cake cost 14 dollars in total.

let the price of coffees sold be x

let the price of slices of cake sold be y

Then, the system of equations are

x+ 2y = 8

2x+ 3y = 14

On solving

2(8- 2y)+ 3y= 14

16 - 4y + 3y= 14

-y= -2

y= 2

and, x = 8- 2(2)= 8- 4= 4

Hence,  price of coffee is $4 and price of slice of cake is $2.
