Let the cost of 1 notebook be x and the cost of 1 binder be y.

4 notebooks and 3 binders would cost 23.5

Therefore, 4x + 3y = 23.5     (1)

7 notebooks and 6 binders would cost 44.5

Therefore, 7x + 6y = 44.5     (2)

Multiply the first equation by 2.

8x + 6y = 47     (3)

(3) - (2) gives

x = 2.5

Substitute the value of x in (1), we get,

4(2.5) + 3y = 23.5

10 + 3y = 23.5

3y = 23.5 - 10

3y = 13.5

y = 13.5/3

y = 4.5

Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is:

5x + 3y = 5(2.5) + 3(4.5)

           = 12.5 + 13.5

           = 26

Hence, cost of 5 notebooks and 3 binders is $26.

Can some one help me please....<br><br>step by step explanation........ ​
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

There are 77 members in the group.

Step-by-step explanation:

1Rs = 100 paise ( Indian Currency Conversion )

Given,

Total amount collected is = Rs 59.29

Now convert Rs 59.29 to paise that is 59.29 × 100 = 5929 paise

Condition :- Paise collection = Total number of members

Consider any of the above condition as X

So, X² = 5929

X = √5929 = 77

Thus, Total number of members in the group is 77 [ Option C ]

Hope this helps you.
