Problema Solution
A two-piece set of luggage cost $150. If sold , the large bag costs $40 more than the small bag. What are individual costs for each bag?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
l = the cost of the large bag
s = the cost of the small bag
a two-piece set of luggage cost $150
l + s = 150
if sold , the large bag costs $40 more than the small bag
l = 40 + s
by solving the system of equations
l + s = 150
l = 40 + s
we find
l = $95
s = $55
