Answer: 4x+y=567, x+y=279, where x=96 and y=183. X represents the large bags and y the small bags
Explanation: We know that our two totals are 279 and 567, so they will be on their own sides of the equation.
The number of large bags (x) plus the number of small bags (y) equals 279 bags in total.
As it relates to price, the price of the large bags (4x) plus the price of the small (y) gives us $567.
Its 28!!! y=28
.....................
So 32=(number of boxes) times (number of books per box)
number of books per box=8
number of boxes=n
32=n times 8
so equation is
32=8n
sol divide both sides by 8
32/8=8/8n
4=1n
4=n
4 boxes
