The cost of the file is $6.15 and the cost of the pen is $8.9

<h3>Solving word problems with systems of linear equations.</h3>

The interpretation of the given word problem leads to a system of linear equations.

From the given information:

  • Let the file be denoted with f and the pen be denoted with p

f + 3p = 32.85 --- (1)

2f + 8p = 83.5 --- (2)

From equation (1)

f = - 3p+32.85

Replace the value of f in the above equation into equation (2)

2(-3p + 32.85) + 8p = 83.5

2p + 65.7 = 83.5

2p = 83.5 -65.7

2p = 17.8

p = 17.8/2

p = 8.9

Replacing the value of p = 8.9 into f = - 3p+32.85

f = -3(8.9)+32.85

f = 6.15

Therefore, we can conclude that the cost of the file is $6.15 and the cost of the pen is $8.9.

Area=length×width
Length=s inches
width=s inches
