Question 167217
so lets call the price per book b and the price per magazine m

so we have {{{4b+3m=1.45}}}
:          {{{2b+5m=1.25}}}   multiply bottom equation by -2 and add equations 
:
together thus elimiating the b terms

{{{-7m=-1.05}}} or {{{7m=1.05}}} solving for m{{{m=.15}}}

{{{4b+3(15)=1.45}}} {{{4b=1.00}}} {{{b=.25}}}

magazines were{{{highlight(15cents)}}}
books.....were{{{highlight(25cents)}}}
