Need answer also, I think you add and divide but not sure

Answer:

a piece of bubble gum cost 0.15 dollars

a piece of fudge cost 1.05 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of a pieces of fudge and y be the cost of a pieces of bubble gum

Hailey : x + y = 1.20

Therefore = > x = 1.20 - y

Livee : 2x + 10y =3.60

2x + 10y = 3.60

2(1.20 - y) + 10y = 3.60

2.4 - 2y +10y = 3.60

2.4 + 8y = 3.60

8y = 1.2

y = 0. 15 (dollars)

x + y = 1.20

x + 0.15 = 1.20

x = 1.05 (dollars)
