Answer provided by our tutors
let
j = the cost per bottle of orange juice
w = the cost per bottle of water
three bottles of orange juice and two bottles of water cost $6.75
3*j + 2*w = 6.75
two bottles of orange juice and three bottles of water cost $6.15
2*j + 3*w = 6.15
by solving the system of equations
3*j + 2*w = 6.75
2*j + 3*w = 6.15
we find
j = $1.59
w = $0.99
