• Question from sources: Grade 7(2) - Coins and Cakes

  Miriam has coins of two shekels and of five shekels.

  If she pays only with two-shekel coins, she will be 60 shekels short of buying 4 cakes.

  If she pays only with five-shekel coins, she will be 60 shekels short of buying 5 cakes.

  In total, she is 60 shekels short of buying 6 cakes. How much does a cake cost?
