Question

Ryan is opening up a bookstore, where he sells both new and old books. He
charges $12.50 for a new book, and $5.50 for an old book. What was Ryan's
revenue last month if he sold 16 new books and 25 old books?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x= new books

y= old books

(to help keep track)

12.50x + 5.50y or 12.50(16) + 5.50(25)

so 337.50 in revenue

Answer 2

Answer:

Ryan earned $27500 selling books

Step-by-step explanation:

25×5.50=137.5

12.50×16=200

137.5+200=27500
