Question

Zander uses an on-line store that sells songs for $1 each and movies for $6. He used all of his $20 allowance to buy 10 items. How many songs and how many movies did he buy?

Answer 1

2 movies and 8 songs

Explanation:

use the formula 1x + 6x = $20 and x + x = 10. so x has to equal to 10, so 1 times 8 is 8 and 6 times 2 is 12. The x’s (8 and 2) equal 10 which is what you were looking for. i don’t know if that made sense but i hope it did
