Answer:
The cost of 1 ruler and 1 pencil are $0.35 and $0.25 respectively,
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of 1 ruler be x
Let the cost of 1 pencil be y
Cost of 4 rulers = 4x
Cost of 3 rulers = 3x
Cost of 3 pencils = 3y
Cost of 4 pencils = 4y
We are given that Four rulers and three pencils cost £2.15
4x+3y=2.15 ---- Black line
We are also given that Three rulers and four pencils cost £2.05
3x+4y=2.05 --- Red line
Plot the lines on the graph
Point of Intersection of lines is (0.35,0.25)
Cost of a ruler = $0.35
Cost of a pencil = $0.25
Hence The cost of 1 ruler and 1 pencil are $0.35 and $0.25 respectively,
