B. $3.80

C. $4.50

D. $8.75

C. $4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

hello, there.

1) 2p + 3c = 17.50

2) 5p + 2c = 19.00

:

Solve equation 1 for p

:

p = (17.50 - 3c) / 2

:

Substitute for p in second equation

:

(5(17.50 - 3c) / 2) + 2c = 19.00

:

Multiply both sides of = by 2

:

(5(17.50 - 3c)) + 4c = 38.00

:

87.50 - 15c + 4c = 38.00

:

-11c = -49.50

:

c = 4.50

:

Cashews are $4.50 per pound
