Answer:

<em>Number of erasers bought = 122</em>

<em>Number of markers bought = 700</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Two items to be bought:

1. Eraser for the dry board

2. Maker

Total items bought = 822

Total money spent = $953

Cost of each eraser = $1.50

Cost of each marker = $1.10

Let the number of erasers bought = x

Let the number of markers bought = y

As per question statement:

x+y=822 ..... (1)

1.50x+1.10y=953\\\Rightarrow 15x+11y=9530 ..... (2)

Multiplying equation (1) with 11 and subtracting from equation (2):

4x = 9530 - 822\times 11\\\Rightarrow 4x = 488\\\Rightarrow x=122

By equation (1):

\Rightarrow y =822-122\\\Rightarrow y = 700

Therefore, the answer is:

Number of erasers bought = 122

Number of markers bought = 700
