An artist plan on selling two sizes of prints at the fair. If she sells 10 large prints and 3 small prints, then she will make $147. If she sells 6 large prints and 4 small prints, then she will make $108. How much is she charging for each size of print?

Respuesta :

She is charging $12 for large prints and $9 for small prints.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Large prints = x

Small prints = y

According to given statement;

10x+3y=147    Eqn 1

6x+4y=108     Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4;

[tex]4(10x+3y=147)\\40x+12y=588\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 3[/tex]

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 3;

[tex]3(6x+4y=108)\\18x+12y=324\ \ \ \ Eqn\ 4[/tex]

Subtracting Eqn 4 from Eqn 3;

[tex](40x+12y)-(18x+12y)=588-324\\40x+12y-18x-12y=264\\22x=264[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 22,

[tex]\frac{22x}{22}=\frac{264}{22}\\x=12[/tex]

Putting x=12 in Eqn 1;

[tex]10(12)+3y=147\\120+3y=147\\3y=147-120\\3y=27\\[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 3

[tex]\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{27}{3}\\y=9[/tex]

She is charging $12 for large prints and $9 for small prints.
