Answer:

Notebooks cost $2.75 and pens cost $1.10.

He can also buy 3 notebooks.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to create two equations given each of the situations.

3n + 2p = 10.45

4n + 6p = 17.60

Now to solve for n, multiply the top equation by -3 and add together.

-9n - 6p = -31.35

4n + 6p = 17.60

----------------------

-5n = -13.75

n = 2.75

Now that we have the value of notebooks, we can find the amount for pens using either equation.

3n + 2p = 10.45

3(2.75) + 2p = 10.45

8.25 + 2p = 10.45

2p = 2.20

p = 1.10

Finally, to find the number of notebooks that he can purchase, find the cost of a notebook with 3 pens.

n + 3p

2.75 + 3(1.10)

2.75 + 3.30

6.05

Now divide 22 by that number

22/6.05 = 3.63

Since we can't have fractional notebooks, we round down to 3.

TiliK225 [7]
Here you have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns. An easy way to solve this type is to isolate one of the variables.

12a + 2b = 8
2b = 8 - 12a
b =
b =  \frac{8 - 12a  }{2}
b = 4 - 6a

Now plug 4 - 6a into equation 1 to solve for a.

a + 5(4 - 6a) = 19

a + 20 - 30a = 19

-29a = -1

a = 1/29 (answer)

Now plug a into the equation for b

b= 4 - 6(1/29)

b= 110/29 (answer)
