1c+4s=112
1c=3s
3s+4s=112
7s=112
Storybook= $16

Answer:

Cost of storybook is $16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the Cost of storybook= ‘x’

If the cost of the cookbook is 3 times the cost of storybook then the cost of the cookbook will be ‘3x’

The cost of 1 cookbook and 4 storybooks = $112

The cost of cookbook and storybook can be calculated by the equation:

3x+4x=112

7x=112

Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x:  

7x/7=112/7

x=16

Therefore, the cost of storybook is $16
