Answer provided by our tutors
let
b = the price of a bush
t = the price of a tree
the first order was for 13 bushed and 4 trees and totaled $487
13b + 4t = 487
the second order was for 6 bushes and 2 trees and totaled $232
6b + 2t = 232
by solving the system of equations
13b + 4t = 487
6b + 2t = 232
we find
b = $23
t = $47
