Jalen has total 63 comic books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total value of comic books = $3135

Let,

Number of $45 comic books = x

Number of $65 comic books = y

According to given statement;

45x+65y=3135 Eqn 1

x=y+33 Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$45(y+33)+65y=3135\\45y+1485+65y=3135\\110y=3135-1485\\110y=1650\\$

Dividing both sides by 110

$\frac{110y}{110}=\frac{1650}{110}\\y=15$

Putting y=15 in Eqn 2

$x=15+33\\x=48$

Total comic books = x+y

Total comic books = 48+15 = 63

Jalen has total 63 comic books.

Let x be the rate of the slower bicyclist and
x + 4 be the rate of the faster bicyclist

Since the bicyclists are headed towards opposite directions, the sum of the distances they covered traveling for one hour and 15 minutes should be equal to 40 km based on the given conditions above. This may be expressed as,

(x)(1.25) + (x + 4)(1.25) = 40

Calculating gives x = 14

Thus, the rate of the bicyclists are 14 km/h and 18 km/h.
