The cost of a new math textbook and a study guide together is $58. Three of the math textbooks and two study guides cost $165. How much does one textbook alone cost?

Cost of one textbook = $49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of 1 textbook and 1 study guide = $58

Cost of 3 textbook and 2 study guide = $165

Find:

Cost of one textbook

Computation:

Assume,

Cost of one textbook = a

Cost of one study guide = b

So,

a + b = 58

b = 58 - a

3a + 2b = 165

3a + 2(58-a) = 165

3a - 2a + 116 = 165

a = 49

Cost of one textbook = $49

step-by-step explanation:

so first find out how much each is worth.

quarter= 25 cents

dime= 10 cents

pennies= 1 cent

then multiply each by how much each is worth.

200                     150                   300

x                         x                     x   1

  25                       10              

                                  300

1000                     1500

+                          

4000                                      

5000                                  

then count 2 from the back and add a period.

$50.00

$15.00

$3.00

and then add them

  $50.00

+

  $15.00

+

    $3.00

$68.00

so sunghee has $68.00
