Jacob Baldwin · Answer 1

Apples = $.30

Peaches = $.60

You can get this by setting up a system of equations that looks like this.

2x + 3y = 1.65

3x + 2y = 1.60

Where x is the amount of apples and y is the number of peaches. Then you can solve using any of the methods (I would suggest elimination for ease).
