Answer: $1.15
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is How much did each roll of crepe paper cost?
Let the cost of crepe paper be x
Let the cost of balloons be y.
Six rolls of crepe paper and 20 balloons cost $11.90. This will be:
6x + 20y = 11.90 ......... i
2 more rolls of crepe paper and 15 more balloons for $6.05. This will be:
2x + 15y = 6.05 ......... ii
6x + 20y = 11.90 ......... i
2x + 15y = 6.05 ......... ii
Multiply equation i by 15
Multiply equation ii by 20
90x + 300y = 178.50 ........ iii
40x + 300y = 121 ........ iv
Subtract iv from iii
50x = 57.50
x = 57.50/50
x = 1.15
Therefore, a crepe paper cost $1.15
