Robert spent $45 buying songs and movies at an online store that charges 1.75 for each song and $2.50 for each movie he purchased a total of 20 songs and movies combined write a system of equations that represents this situation

x= number of songs bought

y= number of movies bought

1.75*x + 2.5*y = 45

x + y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Robert spent $45 buying songs and movies at an online store that charges 1.75 for each song and $2.50 for each movie he purchased a total of 20 songs and movies combined.

We need to establish a system of equations that represents this situation.

x= number of songs bought

y= number of movies bought

1.75*x + 2.5*y = 45

x + y = 20

Now, we can determine the x and y:

x= 20 - y

Substitute x:

1.75*(20 - y) + 2.5y = 45

35 - 1.75y + 2.5y = 45

0.75y = 10

y= 13

x= 20 - 13

x= 7

Prove:

1.75*7 + 2.5*13 = 45

7 + 13 = 20

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
