<span>If you would like to know how many of each did Jan buy, you can calculate this using the following two equations:

b ... the number of books
m ... the number of magazines

$16 = b * $3 + m * $2.50 ... 16 = 3 * b + 2.50 * m
b + m = 6 ... b = 6 - m
__________________
</span>16 = 3 * b + 2.50 * m

<span>16 = 3 * (6 - m) + 2.50 * m</span>

16 = 3 * 6 - 3 * m + 2.50 * m

16 - 18 = - 3 * m + 2.50 * m

- 2 = - 0.50 * m     /0.50

m = 2 / 0.50

m = 4 magazines 

<span>b = 6 - m = 6 - 4 = 2 books</span>

Result: Jan bought 4 magazines and 2 books.
