Chen is bringing fruit and veggies to serve at an afternoon meeting. He spends a total of $28.70 on 5 pints of cut veggies and 7 pints of cut fruit. The food cost is modeled by the equation 5v 7f = 28.70, where v represents the cost of one pint of cut veggies and f represents the cost of one pint of cut fruit. If the cost of each pint of fruit is $2.85, what is the approximate price of a pint of veggies? (Round to the nearest cent.) $1.75 $2.06 $2.39 $3.99

    The answer is $1.75

    5v + 7f = 28.70

    5v + 7 (2.85) = 28.70

    5v + 19.95 = 28.70

    5v = 28.70 - 19.95

    5v = 8.75

    v = 8.75 / 5

    v = $1.75

    To check: 5 (1.75) + 7 (2.85) = 8.75 + 19.95 = 28.70
