At a store, Jeno buys 4 items of x and 2 items of y for Rp 4,000.00. Jimin buys 10 items of x and 4 items of y for Rp 9,500.00. If Japri wants to buy one item of x and one item of y, how much should be paid?
Let the price of one item x be x and the price of one item y be y. The purchases give the following system.
Eliminate y by multiplying the first equation by 2.
Substitute x into the first equation.
Japri pays x+y.
Thus, the required payment is Rp 1,250.00.
