Answer provided by our tutors
let
g = the number of get well cards
b = the number of birthday cards
Donny bought a total of 47 cards:
b + g = 47
the get well cards were $1.50 each and the birthday cards were $1.25 each. he spent a total of $61.75:
1.25b + 1.50g = 61.75
by solving the system of equations:
b + g = 47
1.25b + 1.50g = 61.75
we find:
b = 35 birthday cards
g = 12 get well cards
