A store sells pens and note pads in packages. The price of a package of 8 pens and 3 notepads is 4.25. The price of a package of 15 pens and 10 notepads is 11.25.
p = price of pen
n = price of notepad
The price of a package of 8 pens and 3 notepads is 4.25, means:
8 p + 3 n = 4.25
The price of a package of 15 pens and 10 notepads is 11.25, means:
15 p + 10 n = 11.25
Now solve system of tvo equations:
8 p + 3 n = 4.25
15 p + 10 n = 11.25
The solution is:
p = 0.25 , n = 0.75
Price of pen = 0.25
Price of notepad = 0.75
