The equation that can be used to model the situation regarding the e-books and paperback is 5x + 12y = 68
The following information can be gotten from the question:
Total amount spent on e-books and paperback = $68
<em>Cost</em><em> of e-book = $5 each.</em>
<em>Cost of paperback = $12 each</em>
<em>Number of</em><em> e-books</em><em> = x</em>
<em>Number of paperbacks = y</em>
Therefore, the equation that can be used to model the situation regarding the <em>e-books </em>and <em>paperback</em> will be:
= 5(x) + 12(y) = 68
5x + 12y = 68
The equation will be 5x + 12y = 68
