Question

A book costs 4 times the price of a magazine.
Together they cost £10. What is the cost of the
magazine?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of magazine = £2

The cost of book = £8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of magazine be x

So,

Cost of book = 4x

A/q

They both cost together =£10

4x+x=£10

5x=£10

X=£2

So,

The cost of magazine = £2

The cost of book = £8

Answer 2

Answer:

£2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of book be b and magazine be m

b = 4m

b+m =10

Substitute b=4m in (2)

4m+m=10

5m=10

m=10/5

m=£2
