Let x = price of a tuna sandwich
Let y = price of a turkey sandwich
--------------------------------
(1) 6x + 6y = 30
(2) 4x + 8y = 30.6
---------------------
(1) x + y = 5
---------------------
(2) 40x + 80y = 306
(2) 20x + 40y = 153
---------------------
Multiply both sides of (1) by 20
and subtract (1) from (2)
(2) 20x + 40y = 153
(1) -20x - 20y = -100
----------------------
20y = 53
y = 2.65
and
(1) x + y = 5
(1) x + 2.65 = 5
(1) x = 2.35
-----------------
A tuna sandwich costs $2.35
