Let

x
be the price for a pound of ham
y the price for a pound of cheese

<span>1.3x +0.8y = 11.28  ....(1)
1.5x +1.2y = 14.76  ....(2)

Lets multiply (1) by -1.2
Lets multiply (2) by 0.8

-1.56x -0.96y = -13.536 .....(3)
</span> 1.2x + 0.96y = 11.808 .....(4)


If we add (3) and (4)

-0.36x = -1.728 ............> x = 4.8

We substitute in (1)

1.3(4.8) +0.8y = 11.28

y = 6.3

Price per pound of ham = x = 4.8
Price per pound of cheese = y = 6.3

Answer:

The least amount spent is £12.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Carton = 38

A carton = 45 pence

4 carton = £1.56

To spend the least amount of money, be needs to go for the least expensive option.

There are 100 pence in £1

So, there are x pence in £1.36

x * 1 =1.36 * 100

x = 136 pence for 4 carton.

To get the price of 1 carton, divide x by 4

x/4 = 136p/4

x/4 = 34 pence.

This means that he can get a carton of juice at the rate of 34p and at the rate of 45p.

The smallest of this is 34p.

Hence total amount spent =

34 * 38

amount = 1292p --- convert to £

Amount = 1292/100

Amount = £12.92

Hence, the least amount spent is £12.92
