<u>Answer:</u>
- Carly's expenditure was $240 and the number of boxes of cards was required is 24 boxes.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that:
- 48 + 8(b) = Carly's expenditure
- 10(b) = Carly's expenditure
- 48 + 8b = 10b
- B = Boxes of cards
<u>Work:</u>
- 48 + 8b = 10b
- => 48 + 8b - 8b = 10b - 8b
- => 48 = 2b
- => b = 24
<u>Now, let's substitute the value of b into any equation.</u>
- 10(24)
- => 240
<u>Hence, Carly's expenditure was $240 and the number of boxes of cards was required is 24 boxes.</u>
