need help on this problem triedso many times and its coming up wrong a university bookstore sold a wirebound graph-paper notebook for $3.36, and a college ruled notebook for $4.57. At the start of spring semester, a combination of 50 of these notebooks were sold for atotal of $205.51. How manyof each type were sold?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Let us call number of wirebound sold = w
Let us call number of college ruled sold = c

We know w+c = 50
We also know that 3.36w + 4.57c = 205.51

Solving those equations, you will get the answers for w and c.

Do you know a way to continue solving this system of equations from here?  I'd use substitution.
