Keesha bought 11 binders and notebooks
from the store and spent $45. Binders cost
$6 each and notebooks cost $2.50 each. Which
two equations can be used to find the number
of binders, b, and notebooks, 11, she purchased?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Keesha bought = x binder.

Let Keesha bought (11-x) notebook.

Total money spent = $45

Cost of each binder = $ 6

Cost of each notebook = $ 2.50

Now,

Equation

$ 6 × x + $ 2.50 × (11-x) = $ 45

$ 6 x + $27.5 - $ 2.50 x= $ 45

$ 3.50 x = $ 17.5

x = 5

Number of binder = 5.

Number of cover = 11-5 = 6.

x
