5x + y = 75 x= mango cost/ pc.

y= apple cost/pc.
x + 5y =111

Solution:

eq 1.
5x + y = 75
y= 75-5x

Subs. Eq 1to Eqn. 2

x + 5y =111
x + 5(75-5x) = 111
x + 5*75- 5*5x = 111
x + 375 -25x =111
x-25x = 111- 375
-24x = -264
x= 264/24
x= 11 (cost of mango /pc.)

y=75-5(11)
y= 20 ( cost of apple/ pc.)

Check:

x+ 5y =111
11+ 5*20 =111
11+ 100 =111
111=111
