Question 164840: Can you please help me with this question please!
Paul brought some CDs in a sale.
He brought four times as many popular CDs as classical CDs
The popular CDs,P,were $1.50 each.
The classical CDs,C,were 50 cents each.
He spent $52 altogether.
Solve these equations to find out how many classical CDs Paul brought.
4C=P
1.5P+0.5C=52

well, you have the equations correct: next step is to take the value of P which equals 4C and plug it into the 2nd equation: 1.5(4C)+.5C=52 solve for C
6.5C = 52 divide each side by 6.5 and C=8 therefore since P=4C or 4(8)=32
Answer: P=32
C=8
