PLEASE REPLY TO THIS POST

You've gone to a fruit stand to get some fresh produce. You notice that the person in front of you gets 5 apples and 4 oranges for 10 dollars. You get 5 apples and 5 oranges for 11 dollars. What is the price of an apple and an orange?

Let x = the price per apple

Let y = the price per orange

5x + 4y = 10

5x + 5y = 11

Can you find the price per each apple and each orange?
