1 answer:
38b + 61t = 791.50....multiply by 27 54b + 50t = 923.....multiply by -19 ------------------- 1026b + 1647t = 21370.5 (result of multiplying by 27) -1026b - 950t = - 17537 (result of multiplying by -19) ------------------add 697t = 3833.50 t = 3833.50 / 697 t = 5.50 <=== cost of each towel 38b + 61t = 791.50 38b + 61(5.50) = 791.50 38b + 335.50 = 791.50 38b = 791.50 - 335.50 38b = 456 b = 456/38 b = 12 <== cost of each bed sheet so the cost of 1 towel and 1 bed sheet is : 12 + 5.50 = 17.50
