Answer:
The number of big pictures are 49 and number of small pictures are 48 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the number of big pictures are x .
Let us assume that the number of small pictures are y .
As given
Big pictures are 56$ each small ones are 34$.
97 were sold at the total of $4,376.
Equations becomes
x + y = 97
56x + 34y = 4376
Multiply x + y = 97 by 56 and subtracted from 56x + 34y = 4376 .
56x - 56x + 34y - 56y = 4376 - 5432
-22y = - 1056
22y = 1056
[tex]y = \frac{1056}{22}[/tex]
y = 48
Put value of y in the equation x + y = 97
x + 48 =97
x = 97 - 48
x = 49
Therefore the number of big pictures are 49 and number of small pictures are 48 .
