Question

Rose purchased a total of 17 books and toys for the Rupert play school. earn book cost $11 and each toy cost $6.How many books and toys did she buy for $157?

Answer 1

Answer: 11 Books, 6 Toys

Explanation:

Let the number of books be B, and the number of toys be T

B+T=17

11B+6T=157

Let's use the elimination method:

11B+6T=157

6B+6T=102

And finally you get

5B=55

B=11

Use the value of B to get T

11+T=17

T=6

Therefore, the answer is

B=11,T=6
