Aisha bought 15 apples and oranges for $9.00. each orange costs $0.50, and each apple costs $0.65. let x represent the number of oranges and y represent the number of apples. which system can be used to find the number of apples and oranges aisha bought?

x + y = 15

0.5x + 0.65y = 9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents the number of oranges

y represents the number of apples

Aisha bought 15 pieces of fruit:  oranges + apples = 15 or x + y = 15

Oranges cost $0.50 and apples cost $0.65.  Aisha spent $9.00 on the fruit.

0.5x (total cost for oranges) + 0.65y (total cost for apples) = 9.00 (total cost for fruit) or 0.5x + 0.65y = 9.00
