Question

Staples sells boxes of pens ($25) and rubber bands ($5). Leona ordered a total of 20 cartons for $360. How many boxes of each did

Leona order? Hint. Let P= Pens.

Answer 1

Explanation:

I dont fully know if i am correct but i think its this:

p + r = 22

9p + 6r = 180

p = 22 - r

9(22 - r) + 6r = 180

198 - 9r + 6r = 180

-3r = -18

r = 6

p = 22 - 6

p = 16
