Not sure what you're asking!
Brenda has a blance of 38 dollars in her piggy bank. What exactly do you still need to learn / know?
She might have 3-$10 bills, 1-$5 bill and 3-$1 bills. Other combinations are possible.
Answer:
5 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the price of a package of pens n, and the cost of a box of paper r.
3n+r=26
2n+7r=49
Multiply the first equation by 7:
21n+7r=182
Subtract the second equation from the first:
19n=133
Divide both sides by 19 to isolate n:
n=7
Plug this back in to find the value of a box of paper:
3(7)+r=26
21+r=26
r=5
Hope this helps!
