    Let c=cost of cherry and s=cost of strawberry cheesecakes.

    12c+14s=214

    6c+11s=151.

    So 12c+22s=302 subtract 12c+14s=214:

    8s=88, so s=$11 and 6c=151-11s=151-121=$30.

    The cost of one cherry cheesecake is $30 and of one strawberry is $11.

    The cost of the sum of both is $41.
