<u>Answer:</u>

Cost of package of paper = 4$

Cost of stapler = 7$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Consider the cost of package of paper = x and that of stapler = y.

Now, we are given that cost of 3 paper packages and 4 staplers = 40$

Hence we get, 3x + 4y = 40 as 1st equation.

we are also given, cost of 5 paper packages and 6 staplers = 62$

Hence, the second equation is 5x + 6y = 62

Now, solving the two equations by method of elimination, we first equate coefficients of any one variable say x by multiplying 1st equation by 5 and second by 3 we get ->

15x + 20y = 200

15x + 18y= 186

Subtracting the two we get y = 7 and substituting this value of y in first equation we get x = 4

which gives the required cost of one paper package = x = 4$

and one stapler = y = 7$

How can you tell whether or not a question is a statistical question?
Ray Of Light [21]

A statistical question is one for which you don't expect to get a single answer. Instead, you expect to get a variety of different answers, and you are interested in the distribution and tendency of those answers. For example, "How tall are you?" is not a statistical question. But "How tall are the students in your school?" is a statistical question.
