Answer:

One apple pie is $4 and one blackberry pie is $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where a is the cost of one apple pie and b is the cost of one blackberry pie:

10a + 2b = 80

10a + 3b = 100

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -1, then adding the equations together:

-10a - 2b = -80

10a + 3b = 100

Add these together:

b = 20

So, one blackberry pie is $20. Plug in 20 as b into one of the equations, and solve for a:

10a + 2b = 80

10a + 2(20) = 80

10a + 40 = 80

10a = 40

a = 4

So, one apple pie is $4.

One apple pie is $4 and one blackberry pie is $20
