Answer:

the cost of each is £10 and £8 respectively

Explanation:

Let us assume the cost of per DVD be x

And the cost of per CD be y

Now as per the question

The following equations should be made

3x + 4y = £62.00

4x + 3y = £64.00

Now multiply by 4 in equation 1 and 3 in equation 2

12x + 16y = £248

12x + 9y = £192

7y = £56

y = £8

Now put the value of y in any of the above equation

3x + 4( £8) = £62

3x + £32 = £62

3x = 30

x = £10

Hence, the cost of each is £10 and £8 respectively
