Question 378707: Please help me solve this one: I bought coloring books. The big coloring books have 100 pages for $8 while the small coloring books have 25 pages for $2. I paid $28 and got a total of 650 pages. How many of each did I buy?

the price per page is the same for both sizes, so there is not enough information to determine the number of each
