Answer:

$16

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = cost of ricotta cheese

let x + 5 = cost of parmesan cheese

.5x + .25(x+5) = $9.5

  • solve this and we get x =11
  • (cost per pound for ricotta)

now we plug that value back into x + 5 to find the cause of the cost of parmesan cheese

  • 11 +5 = 16
  • y = 16
