The school store is running a promotion on school supplies. Different supplies are placed on two shelves. You can purchase 2 items from shelf A and 5 from shelf B for $20. Or you can purchase 5 items from shelf
A and 2 from shelf B for $29. This can be represented by the following system of equations,
{
2A + 5B = 20
5A + 2B = 29
Solve the system of equations by multiplying first.
The price is $. on shelf A and 5 on shelf B.
If the supplies on shelf A are normally $8 each and the supplies on shelf B are normally $3 each, how
much will you save on each package plan?
You save $ when buying the first package and $ for buying the second package.
