Answer:
$6.43
Step-by-step explanation:
Students bought 32 copies of Amazing Science for a total cost of $95.36 and 32 copies of Sci-Fi for a total cost of $110.40. If each student bought 1 copy of each magazine, how much did each student spend?
For Amazing science:
$95.36 = 32 copies
Therefore,
1 copy = 1 student
Hence:
32 student = $95.36
1 student = x
Cross Multiply
32x = $95.36
x = $95.36/32
x = $2.98
For Sci fi
$110.40 = 32 copies
Therefore,
1 copy = 1 student
Hence:
32 student = $110.40
1 student = x
Cross Multiply
32x = $110.40
x = $110.40/32
x = $3.45
Hence, each student spent
$2.98 on Amazing Science and $3.45 on Sci Fi magazines.
The total amount they spent
= $2.98 + $3.45
= $6.43
Therefore, If each student bought 1 copy of each magazine, each student spent $6.43
