Answer:

15 black water bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

let w represent white water bottles, and let b represent black water bottles.

set up a system of equations:

w+b=20

w+2b=35

(the top equation shows that the number of white water bottles he sold and the number of black water bottles he sold equals to 20, since it says that the total number of water bottles is 20. the bottom equation shows that white water bottles cost $1, and black water bottles cost $2, and that the total amount of money he got from selling them is $35).

in the top equation, isolate w:

w+b=20

w=20-b

now we do substitution. in the bottom equation, substitute 20-b for w:

w+2b=35

20-b+2b=35

then, solve:

b+20=35

b=15

this means that he sold 15 black water bottles.

<h2>Solution (a) :-</h2>

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 .

<h2>Solution (b) :-</h2>

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 .
