let
b = the cost of the basic portrait package
d = the cost of the deluxe portrait package
Eighth graders from Dover Elementary School ordered 54 basic portrait packages and 86 deluxe portrait packages, for a total of $10,788:
54b + 86d = 10788
The seniors at Clarksville High ordered 55 basic portrait packages and 93 deluxe portrait packages, for a total of $11,442:
55b + 93d = 11442
by solving the system of equations:
54b + 86d = 10788
55b + 93d = 11442
we find:
b = $66
d = $84
