Answer:

x = 1, y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of new-releases (x) = $20 each

Value of classic (y) = $8 each

Total budget = $500

Equation : 20x + 8y = 500

The librarian wants to purchase maximum DVDs. She can get more DVDs of classic movies for $8 as they are less costly.

Lets assume the librarian buys at least one new-release DVD.

x=1

20x + 8y = 500

8y + 20(1) = 500

y = 60

<em>Therefore, in a budget of $500, the librarian can purchase 60 classic movies and 1 new-release.</em>

Furkat [3]

Answer:

Option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jen decides to read 100 pages the first day and 50 pages each day thereafter.

Number of pages read by Jen per day = 50

Number of pages read by Ariel per day = 40
