Question

Martin buys 3 hardcover books and 4 paperback books for $6.50. Anna buys 2 hardcover books and 6 paperback books for $6.00. What is the cost, in dollars, of each hardcover book?

Answer 1

Answer: Each hard cover book is worth $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Hard cover is worth $1.50, so the softcover is worth 0.50, 3x1.5 is 4.5, 4x0.50 is 2, 2+4.5=6.50
