72. Books and magazines. At Gwenâ€™s garage sale, all books were one price, and all magazines were another price. Harriet bought four books and three magazines for $1.45, and June bought two books and five magazines for $1.25. What was the price of a book and what was the price of a magazine?

The magazines cost 10 cents less than the books. The equation for what Harriet bought can be represented by:$1.45 = 7x - $.30Therefore, 7x = $1.75x (cost of the book) = $.25Because a magazine is 10 cents less than the book, and a book is $.25, the magazines cost $.15 each.
