Answer: 1.85€, 0.5€
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Peter bought 5 pens and 8 pencils which costs 13.25€
The pencil is 1.35€ cheaper than the pen
Suppose the price of a pen and pencil is x and y
So, we can write
[tex]\Rightarrow 5x+8y=13.25\quad \ldots(i)\\\Rightarrow x-y=1.35\quad \ldots(ii)[/tex]
Solving the above equations, we get
[tex]x=1.85,y=0.5[/tex]
Therefore, the price of a pen and pencil are 1.85€ and 0.5€.
