One week Chuck bought 2 packs of chicken and 3 packs of beef for $42.50. The next

Each pack of chicken costs $8 and each pack of beef costs $9.24.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a system of equations:

I am going to say that:

x is the cost of each pack of chicken.

y is the cost of each pack of beef.

2 packs of chicken and 3 packs of beef for $42.50.

This means that

5 packs of chicken and 6 packs of beef for $94.25.

This means that

We have to solve the following system:

I will use the addition method, multiplying the first equation by -2, and adding to the second

-4x + 5x - 6y + 6y = -85 + 94.24

x = 9.24.

And

Each pack of chicken costs $8 and each pack of beef costs $9.24.
