Amount charged for downloading individual songs = x dollars
Amount charged for downloading an entire song album = y dollars
Person A:
6x + 2y = 25.92
3x + y = 12.96
y = 12.96 - 3x
Person B:
4x + 3y = 33.93
Putting the value of y from the first equation in the second we get
x = 0.99 dollars
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
y = 12.96 - 3x
= 12.96 - 2.97
= 9.99 dollars
