Question

Francisco Goya computed the unit price of an 8-count package of hamburger buns and found

them to be $0.03 more per bun than the unit price of a 10-count package. If the 8-count
package costs $0.45 less than the cost of the 10-count package, find the cost of the 8-count
package and the 10-count package.​

Answer 1

Cost of 10-count package: $3.45

Cost of the 8-count package: $3.00

Explanation:

x = y + 0.03

8x = 10y - 0.45

8y+0.24=10y-0.45

0.69=2y

y=0.345
