Abby and Katy are selling cheesecakes. There are apple and pecan cheesecakes. Abby sold 14 pecan and 3 apple cheesecakes for a total of $113. Katy sold 7 pecan and 8 apple cheesecakes for a total of $180. What's the cost of one pecan cheesecake and one apple cheesecake? How would I set this up?

If you want to set up the equations:

let the cost of one apple cheesecake be and the cost of one pecan cheesecake be $p$

from Abby, $14p+3a=113$

and from Katy....?

then solve for both variables

can you take it from here?

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this gracious day. in order to compare the ratios easily, it is best that we simplify the question first. so, the cougars would have 6 wins for 5 losses, bobcats make 2 wins for 1 loss. bulldogs and tigers have a ratio where you can't simplify it. so, the team with the lowest rate would be the bobcats.

i hope that this ! : d
