Small Request to Swoumya garu and Keerthi Garu. Please give Answers with solutions.

Solution:
Let p be the price of one pineapple nd let j be the price of one kacjfruit,

As per question,
6p+2j=15 -----(1)
Also let the there be y number of jackfruits purchased at Rs. 9
then, y * j =9 --- (2)
Also as per question,
(y+4)*p =14 ----(3)
solving eqns 1,2 & 3 :
p=1.75
j=2.25
