Answer: the prices of the gifts are $6.4 and $19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of the cheaper gift.

Let y represent the price of the costlier gift.

The price of one gift was 3 times the cost of the other. It means that the price of the costlier gift is expressed as

y = 3x

If both gifts cost $25.60 altogether, it means that

x + y = 25.60- - - - - - - -- - -1

Substituting y = 3x into equation 1, it becomes

x + 3x = 25.6

4x = 25.6

x = 25.6/4

x = $6.4

y = 3x = 3 × 6.4

y = $19.2

Help PLease! PLease explainn how to do these types of equations!
leonid [27]

Answer:

4xy See image.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember for division questions to use Keep, Change, Flip. You will Keep the first term the same. Change the divide to times. And Flip the second term (turn it upside down, in math this is called the reciprocal)

Also, you need to know when you you get to the part where everything is times, then you times: top×top, and bottom×bottom.

Once everything is times, you can rearrange the order and cancel (cancel is not really the mathy thing happening, you are dividing---

x/x is 1 and y/y is 1,

10/5 is 2, 6/3 is 2) See image.
