Troy and Lisa were shopping for school supplies. Each purchased different quantities of the same notebook and thumb drive. Troy
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Notebook is $4

Thumb drive is $23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let notebooks be x and thumb drives be y

6x+7y=$185

14x+12y=$332

These two are simultaneous equation. Multiplying the first equation by 7 and second by 3 we obtain

42x+49y=$1295

42x+36y=$996

Subtracting the third equation from the fourth

996-1295=-$299

(36-49)y=-23y

-23y=-$299

y=$299/13=$23

To get the value of x, we substitute the value of y into the first equation

6x+(7*23)=$185

6x=$185-$161

6x=$24

x=$4

Therefore, price of notebook is $4, price of thumb drive is $23
