There are two tvs of different sizes. One is a 42" diagonal TV that costs $420, the other is a 50" diagonal tv that costs $550. The aspect ratio of each is 16:9, width to height. What is the cost per square inch of each tv?
Thank you in advance!
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .

You need to find the area of each tv screen.
Let x and y be the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the first tv respectively (in inches).
Then you have two equations:
= ,
= .
Solve this system, and then you will be in position to calc the area of this tv S1 = xy.
Then do the same for the second tv screen.
In this way you will be able to complete the solution.
The rest is on you.
