Answer:

$12.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) if price of one doll is 'x', of one dress is 'y', then the condition 'buys one doll and one dress, it will cost her $21.00' can be written as x+y=21;

2) the condition 'buys two dolls and three dresses, it will cost her $51.00' can be written as 2x+3y=51;

3) it is possible to make up the system:

[tex]\left \{ {{x+y=21} \atop {2x+3y=51}} \right. \ = > \ \left \{ {{x=12} \atop {y=9}} \right.[/tex]

4) the price of one doll is 12$.
