Kate bought 3 used cds and 1 used dvd at the bookstore. her friend joel bought 2 used cds and 2 used dvds at the same store. if kate spent $20 and joel spent $22, determine the cost of a used cd and a used dvd?

Cost of 1 DVD is $6.5

Cost of one CD is $4.5

Combine cost of one DVD and CD is $11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Kate bought 3 used CDs and 1 used DVD at the bookstore.

Her friend Joel bought 2 used CDs and 2 used DVDs at the same store.

Kate spent $20

Joel spent $22

To Find :  the cost of a used CD and a used DVD

Solution :

Let cost of 1 used CDs be $x

Let cost of 1 used DVDs be $y

Cost of 3 used CDs = $3x

Cost of 2 used CDs = $2x

Cost of 2 used DVDs = $2y

Kate bought 3 used CDs and 1 used DVD at the bookstore.

She spent $20

So, equation becomes :

⇒ ---(a)

Joel bought 2 used CDs and 2 used DVDs. she spent $22.

So, equation becomes:

⇒ --(b)

Now solve (a) and (b) to determine the value of x and y

We will use substitution method

Substitute the value of x from (b) in (a)

Thus cost of 1 DVD is $6.5

Now substitute this value of y in b to get value of x

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

⇒

Thus the cost of one CD is $4.5

Hence the combine cost of one DVD and CD =  $6.5+ $4.5=$11

since proposition states that a number is greater than 25, if is true then the number must actually be greater than 25.

this implies that all possible options, except 24, can be accepted

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.
