1. **State the problem:**
A mother bought 3 packs of Supligen and 4 packs of Orange juice for 13.40.
If she had bought 4 packs of Supligen and 3 packs of Orange juice, the cost would have been 14.95.
2. **Write simultaneous equations:**
Let $s$ be the cost per pack of Supligen and $j$ be the cost per pack of Orange juice.
From the problem, we have:
$$3s + 4j = 13.40$$
$$4s + 3j = 14.95$$
3. **Solve the system:**
Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by 4 to eliminate $j$:
$$9s + 12j = 40.20$$
$$16s + 12j = 59.80$$
4. **Subtract the first from the second:**
$$16s + 12j - (9s + 12j) = 59.80 - 40.20$$
$$7s = 19.60$$
5. **Solve for $s$:**
$$s = \frac{19.60}{7}$$
$$s = 2.80$$
6. **Substitute $s=2.80$ into the first equation:**
$$3(2.80) + 4j = 13.40$$
$$8.40 + 4j = 13.40$$
7. **Isolate $j$:**
$$4j = 13.40 - 8.40$$
$$4j = 5.00$$
8. **Solve for $j$:**
$$j = \frac{5.00}{4}$$
$$j = 1.25$$
**Final answers:**
- Cost per pack of Supligen $s = 2.80$
- Cost per pack of Orange juice $j = 1.25$
