Gillian purchased 25 books at the library book sale. each hardcover book cost $1.50, and each paperback book cost $0.50. gillian spent a total of $26.50. the book costs can be represented by the system of equations below.

h + p = 25
1.50h + 0.50p = 26.50
how many paperback books did gillian buy? 11
12
13
14

11

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations, where p represents the number of paperback books and h represents the number of hardcover books :

Multiply equation (1) with 2 on both sides , we get

Subtract equation (2) from equation (3), we get

Put the value of h in equation (1), we get

Hence, the number of paperback books bought by Gillian = 11.

2^y = ln 5, or   y(ln 2) = ln 5.   solving for y,   y = (ln 5) / (ln 2).   y=5
