Q1
Let $x be the cost of an orange
then the cost of a watermelon = $(x+27)
8x+2(x+27)=104
8x+2x+54=104
10x+54=104
10x=104-54
10x=50
x=5
∴The cost of an orange is $5

Q2
Let x and y be the number of rabbits and chickens in the farm respectively
x+y=700--------------(1)
4x+2y=1900---------(2)

From (1),
x=700-y--------------(3)

Substitute (3) into (2),
4x+2y=1900
4(700-y)+2y=1900
2800-4y+2y=1900
2800-2y=1900
2800-1900=2y
900=2y
2y=900
y=450
∴There are 450 chickens in the farm

1) let x be the cost of an orange
the cost of a watermelon is x+27
8x+2(x+27)=104
8x+2x+54=104
10x=50
x=5

the cost of an orange is $5

2) let there are y chickens and z rabbits
we have y+z=700----(1)
and 2y+4z=1900-----(2)

from (1)
y+z=700
z=700-y----------------(3)

put (3)into (2)

2y+4(700-y)=1900
2y+2800-4y=1900
-2y=-900
2y=900
y=450

there are 450 chickens in the farm.
