Johnson wants to buy something for himself. He has a budget of $105 to spend on $25 t-shirts, $10 cd's, and $5 books. He wants to buy 10 items and wants to buy as many books as t-shirts and cd's combined. How many of each item should he buy? Explain please!​

2 t-shirts, 3 cd's, 5 books.

Step-by-step explanation: Johnson wants to spend $105 in total, get 10 items total, and get at least 1 t-shirt, 1 cd, and 1 book. If he did not want to buy 10 items then he could buy 21 books, 10 cd's and 1 book, or 4 t-shirts and 1 book. But because of all the conditions Johnson should buy 2 t-shirts ($50), 3 cd's ($30), and 5 books ($25). $105 total, and as much of each item as possible.

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
