A group of students go to the store to buy school supplies. If they buy three
binders and four notebooks, the bill will be $4.85. If they buy three binders and
ten notebooks, the bill will be $8.75. What is the cost of each binder and
notebook?

Respuesta :

Answer: Binder = 75c    notebook = 65c

Step-by-step explanation:

3b + 10n = 875

3b + 4n = 485

Subtracting gives:

6n = 390

390/6 = 65

n = 65

Substitute 65 into 3b + 4n = 485

3b + 260 = 485

3b = 485 - 260

3b = 260

b = 75
