Answer:
$6.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a system of equations, where s represents the price of a stuffed animal and t represents the price of a toy train:
4s + 7t = 75
6s + 5t = 74
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by -2:
12s + 21t = 225
-12s - 10t = -148
11t = 77
t = 7
Plug 7 in as t to find s:
4s + 7t = 75
4s + 7(7) = 75
4s + 49 = 75
4s = 26
s = 6.5
= $6.50 for a stuffed animal
