Let
x represent the cost per pound of ham
y represent the cost per pound of cheese
<span>1.3x + 0.8y = 11.28....(1)
1.5x + 1.2y = 14.76....(2)
Now, let's multiply equation (1) by -1.2
...and multiply equation (2) by 0.8
Then we obtain -1.56x - 0.96y = -13.536.....(3)
</span>...and 1.2x + 0.96y = 11.808.....(4)
Adding (3) and (4) results in
-0.36x = -1.728............> x = 4.8
Substituting x back into (1)
1.3(4.8) + 0.8y = 11.28
y = 6.3
Cost per pound of ham = x = 4.8
Cost per pound of cheese = y = 6.3

Step-by-step explanation:
Shift the decimal points in both the divisor and the dividend.
Transform the divisor (the number you're dividing by) into a whole number by moving its decimal to the furthest right. Simultaneously, adjust the dividend's decimal (the number being divided) the same number of places to the right.
In the quotient (the result), place a decimal point directly over where the decimal point is now located in the dividend.
Proceed with the division as normal, ensuring proper alignment so the decimal point appears correctly.
Align each digit in the quotient directly over the last digit of the dividend utilized in that step.
