pls help Answer by Seutip(231) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x- be the number of notebooks Tim bought in SN Store
y - be the number of notebooks Tim bought in Assorted Store
Tim spent 2.25x in SN Store and 2y in Assorted Store. He spent the same money on both stores therefore 2.25x=2y
There are total of 17 notebooks, therefore x+y=17
We now have two equations and
Let y=17-x
x=8
y=17-x
y=17-8
y=9
x=8, y=9
He bought 8 in SN store and 9 in Assorted Store
God bless and stay safe.
Hope that helps.
