To solve the problem, set up equations based on given information. Find the cost of each magazine. Determine if Marie can buy any pies with her budget of $24.
In order to solve this problem, we need to set up equations based on the given information. Let's assume that the cost of each magazine is x and the cost of each pie is y. We know that Marie has a weekly budget of $24, so we can set up the following equation: x + y = 24.
Additionally, we are given that the total number of pages in four different types of magazines is 473. From the table, we can determine the number of pages in each type of magazine: x + 2x + 3x + 4x = 473. Simplifying this equation, we get 10x = 473, which means that x = 47.3.
Substituting the value of x back into the original equation x + y = 24, we find that 47.3 + y = 24. Rearranging y = 24 - 47.3, we get y = -23.3. However, since we can't have a negative cost, we can conclude that Marie cannot buy any pies with her budget of $24.
