Buford bought 2 donuts and 3 lattes yesterday for $6.15. Today he bought 3 donuts and 4 lattes for $8.35. What is the cost of a donut and a latte?

Q. let the cost of a donut be $d and that of a latte be $l.
according to question
2d + 3l =6.15 -------------------(1)
3d + 4l =8.35 --------------------(2)
now solving the two equations for d and l we get
multiply 3 on both sides of equation (1) and 2 in equation (2) then eliminating d from both the equations,
l =18.45 - 16.7 = 1.75
=> l = $1.75 hence d =$0.45
