Question 108066: Galvanizeds nails are sold by the pound. Robert bought 2$ worth of 6 penny nails and 3$ of 8 penny nails for a total weight of 8 pounds. later he bought 1$
worth of 6 penny nails and 6$ worth of 8 penny nails for a total weight of 10 pounds. How muchper pound does each nail cost?
I did for the first equation 2/x+ 3/y=8 and the second equation I did 1/x + 6/y=10. So the equation wound be total cost/price per pound and I can't get why I'm wrong. Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
