lisa buys a dozen apples and two oranges. Jeremy buys six apples. Oranges cost $1 each, and they spend $11 total. How could you define variables to find the cost of the apples and oranges?

Let the variable "x" represent the price of apples, and the variable "y" represent the price of oranges.

Lisa bought a dozen apples and two oranges.

Hence, she spent $

Jeremy bought six apples, which means he spent $

The total is $11.

If we add up the variables from Lisa and Jeremy, we now know that

$()=$11.

Since oranges cost $1 each, we can replace the variable y with $1.

$()=$11

$=$11

Subtract $2 on both sides:

$=$

Divide both sides by 18:

$

Apples are $0.50, whereas oranges are $1.
