Question

1. Jenny and Gary bought some crayons and makers. Jenny bought 4 crayons and 5 markers for $6.71. Gary bought 5 crayons and 3 markers for $7.12. Find the cost of each. Cost of Crayons Cost of Markers

Answer 1

Cost of a crayon = $1.19

Cost of a marker = $0.39

Step-by-step explanation

Let the cost of a crayon be c

Let the cost of a marker be m

Jenny bought 4 crayons and 5 markers for $6.71

4c + 5m = 6.71 (equation 1)

Gary bought 5 crayons and 3 markers for $7.12

5c + 3m = 7.12 (equation 2)

We can then write the two equations together and solve

4c + 5m = 6.71

5c + 3m = 7.12

Solving simultaneously

c = $1.19

m = $0.39

Hope this Helps!!!
