Answer:

  • Book -$20/11 and pencil - $17/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the set price of pencil be p and the set price of book be b

<u>Then we have equations:</u>

  • 2p + 6b = 14
  • 4p + 1b = 8

<u>Simplify the first equation:</u>

  • p + 3b = 7

<u>And substitute p in the second equation: p = 7 - 3b</u>

  • 4(7 - 3b) + b = 8
  • 28 - 12b + b = 8
  • 11b = 20
  • b = 20/11

<u>And finding value of p:</u>

  • p = 7 - 3(20/11) = 1/11(77 - 60) = 17/11

1. One week Carlos bought 3 bags of Tabitha Tidbits and 4 bags of Figaro Flakes for $43.00. The next week he bought 3 bags of Ta
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Tabitha Tidbits costs $7 per bag, and Figaro Flakes is $5.50 per bag.
You need to set up a system of equations. Use "x" for Tabitha Tidbits and "y" for Figaro Flakes, and let the total cost of each trip equal c. Using the equation ax+by=c, substitute the cost of each trip in for c, and the number of bags for each food for a and b respectively. The two equations will be:
3x+4y=43
3x+6y=54
Isolate x in the first equation and you will get:
x=(43-4y)/3
Substitute the above equation for x into the other equation:
3*((43-4y)/3)+6y=54
Isolate y in this equation, and you will get 11/2, which is 5.5
So the cost of one bag of Figaro Flakes is $5.50
Now substitute this into the equation where you isolated x:
(43-4(5.5))/3
You will get x=7, so a bag of Tabitha Tidbits is $7
