Answer:

Total books sold=146 books

Total magazines sold=114 magazines

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1

Total weekly profit=(Profit for each magazine sold×Number of magazines sold)+(Profit for each book sold×Number of books sold)

where;

Total weekly profit=$450

Profit from each magazine sold=$0.75

Number of magazines sold=y

profit from each book sold=$2.50

Number of books sold=x

Replacing;

450=(0.75×y)+(2.5×x)

0.75y+2.5x=450.....  Equation 1

Equation 2

Total number of publications sold=Total number of books sold+Total number of magazines sold

where;

Total number of publications sold=260

Total number of books sold=x

Total number of magazines sold=y

x+y=260...   Equation 2

Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve;

1(2.5x+0.75y=450)>>>>>>>>2.5x+0.75y=450

2.5(x+y=260)        >>>>>>>>2.5x+2.5y=650

Subtract equation 1 from 2

(2.5x-2.5x)+(2.5y-0.75y)=(650-450)

1.75y=200

y=200/1.75

y=114

Replacing the value for y in equation 2

x+114=260

x=260-114=146

Total books sold=146 books

Total magazines sold=114 magazines

2.75 As a fraction in simplest form
marshall27 [118]
2.75=2 3/4 because you would say 2.75 as two and seventy-five hundredths. Seventy-five hundredths is just like 3 quarters out of 4 because 1 quarter=25. 2=50. 3=75. So, 2.75 as a fraction in simplest form is 2 3/4.
Hope I helped:D
