Ex Book = 25sh

Pen = 8sh

Step-by-step explanation:

if Sharon Bought 5 exercise books and 5 pens for 165,

then

5x +5p = 165

5(x+p) = 165

x+p = 33

So, the possible values of x and p are:

23,8

24,7

25, 8

Use trial and error, and you will find that 25 and 8 are the correct pair of costs.

So, exercise book costs 25sh and pens cost 8 sh
