You would solve this with simultaneous equations, so if we write it as:
5n + 2p = 9
3n + 2p = 6
(subtract)
2n = 3
÷ 2
notebooks = 1.5

Now you would substitute it in:
(3 × 1.5) + 2p = 6
4.5 + 2p = 6
- 4.5
2p = 1.5
÷ 2
pens = 0.75

So your final answer is notebooks are $1.50 and pens are $0.75, I hope this helps!

Tammy purchased a prepaid phone card for $15. Long distance calls cost 18 cents a minute using this card. Tammy used her card on

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

46 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry about not answering your question sooner, but here is your answer:

In order to get the answer, we have to subtract the original amount of money on the phone card by the amount left ver after the call:

15 - 6.72 = 8.28

Then, we divide this number by 0.18:

8.28 / 0.18 = 46

So, Tammy's call lasted 46 minutes

Hope this helps :)
