Let the Magnum be represented by : M
Let the Paddlepop be represented by : P
Given : Three Magnums and Two Paddlepops cost $8.70
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 3M + 2P = 8.70 ----------- [1]
Given : Difference between a Magnum and a Paddlepop is 90 cents
As 1 Dollar is made up of 100 cents, 90 cents can be written as $0.9
[tex]:\implies[/tex] M - P = 0.9
Multiplying above equation with 2, We get :
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 2M - 2P = (2 × 0.9)
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 2M - 2P = 1.8 ----------- [2]
Adding Equation [1] and [2], We get :
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 3M + 2P + 2M - 2P = 8.70 + 1.8
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 5M = 10.5
[tex]:\implies[/tex] M = 2.1
As the Difference between a Magnum and Paddlepop is $0.9
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 2.1 - P = 0.9
[tex]:\implies[/tex] P = 2.1 - 0.9
[tex]:\implies[/tex] P = 1.2
