John went to the store and bought 4 pencils
and 10 binders and spent $64. Carmen went
to the same store and bought 7 pencils and 4
binders and spent $31. If Lisa wants to buy
pencils and binders from the same store,
how much should they tell her each item
costs?
You would have to use system of equations for this problem. X= pencils and Y= binders 4x + 10y = 64 7x + 4y= 31 Pencils are $1 each and binders are $6 each.
