A bookstore charges a standard rate for paperback and hardback bestseller books. The cost of each paperback book is $8 less than the cost of the hardcover. Recently, one day of sales totaled $1268. On that day, 53 paperback books and 41 hardback books were sold. How much does each type of book cost?
