Answer:

each notebook costs $2.70

each pack of pencils costs $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

system of equations:

let p = pack of pencils

let n = notebook

3p + 5n = 18

4p + 4n = 16.8

I used the elimination method by multiplying the first equation by 4 and the second equation by -3

4(3p + 5n = 18)  =  12p + 20n = 72

-3(4p + 4n = 16.8)  =  -12p -12n = -50.4

adding the new equations together you get:  8n = 21.6

n = 21.6/8

n = $2.70

solve for 'p':

3p + 5(2.7) = 18

3p + 13.5 = 18

3p = 4.5

p = $1.50

Answer:

Total crackers on the plate are 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Manuel ate crackers = \frac{1}{3}

His brother ate crackers = \frac{1}{4}

Crackers left on the plate = 5

We need to find how many crackers were there on the plate.

Let x be the total crackers on the plate

So, we can write the equation

x-\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{4}x=5

Because 1/3 and 1/4 crackers are eaten and 5 are left so, we subtract 1/3x and 1/4x from x and equal it to 5

\frac{12x-4x-3x}{12}=5\\\frac{12x-7x}{12}=5\\\frac{5x}{12}=5\\x=\frac{5*12}{5}\\x=12

So, we get x = 12

Therefore, total crackers on the plate are 12
