Answer:
One 8x10 photo costs $1.50.
Explanation:
You can write two equations and use a system of equations.
Let w = price of 1 wallet-size photo.
Let n = price of 1 of 8x10 photo.
Basic package:
24w + n = 19.5
Deluxe package:
32w + 3n = 28.5
We have a system of equations:
24w + n = 19.5
32w + 3n = 28.5
Multiply both sides of the first equation by -3.
Rewrite the second equation below it and add the equations.
-72w - 3w = -58.5
(+) 32w + 3n = 28.5
---------------------------------
-40w = -30
w = -30 / -40
w = 0.75
24w + n = 19.5
24(0.75) + n = 19.5
18 + n = 19.5
n = 1.5
Answer: One 8x10 photo costs $1.50.
