Apples are $0.68 and peaches are $0.42.

To find these values, we need to write and solve the following system of equations.

6x + 9y = 7.86
4x + 5y = 4.82

Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by -3.

12x + 18y = 15.72
-12x - 15y = 14.46

Add the equations together.
3y = 1.26
y = 0.42

Sub in 0.72 and solve for x in either equation and you will get x = 0.68.
