Answer:

If the number of fruits is 8, then Todd and Agnes will pay the same amount for their purchases

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of pieces of fruit

y ----> the total pay for the purchase

we know that

Todd

[tex]y=1.25x+4[/tex] ----> equation A (peaches plus a carton of vanilla yogurt)

Agnes

[tex]y=1.00x+6[/tex] ----> equation B (apples plus a jar of honey)

Equate equation A and equation B and solve for x

[tex]1.25x+4=1.00x+6[/tex]

[tex]1.25x-1.00=6-4[/tex]

[tex]0.25x=2[/tex]

[tex]x=8\ pieces\ of\ fruits[/tex]

therefore

If the number of fruits is 8, then Todd and Agnes will pay the same amount for their purchases
