Question

5,049 +48=105

Answer 1

Solution (a) :-

Let the cost of the less expensive comic book be x .

Then :-

$1284 - 11x = x$

Using this equation , we can find the cost of the less expensive comic book .

Price of the less expensive book :-

$1284 - 11x = x$

$11x + x = 1284$

$12x = 1284$

$x = \frac{1284}{12}$

$x = 107$

Cost of the less expensive book is 107 .

Therefore , the epice of the less expensive book = $ 107 .

Solution (b) :-

Cost of the more expensive book = 11x

Which means :-

$1284 - x = 11x$

$11x + x = 1284$

$12x = 1284$

$x = 107$

$11x = 11 \times 107$

$= 1177$

Therefore , the price of the more expensive book = $ 1177 .
