Question

Krysta bought 24 notebooks and spent $104. The large notebookd cost $6 each and the small notebooks cost $2 each. How many of each type of notebook did she buy?

Answer 1

Large: 17 Small: 52

Just do 104 divided by 6 and 104 divided by 2.

Answer 2

large notebook =14, small notebook=10

Explanation:

x+y=24 solve for x x=24-y

6x + 2y = 104

6(24-y) + 2y = 104

144- 6y +2y =104

144 - 4y = 104

-4y = -40

y=10

x=24-10=14

x=14
