3a + 10b = 8.75

3a + 4b = 4.85

Therefore, 6b = 8.75 - 4.85 = 3.90.

b = 3.90 / 6 = 0.65

3a + (10 x 0.65) = 8.75

Therefore, 3a = 8.75 - (10 x 0.65)

3a = 8.75 - 6.50

3a = 2.25

Therefore, a = 2.25 / 3

a = 0.75

Therefore, the cost of an apple is 0.75. Don't forget to include the unit of currency, whether it be $0.75, or £0.75, or similar.
