Mrs Kumar paid $14 438 for 5 similar laptops and 4 similar DVD players.
If 1 laptop and 1 DVD player cost $2960 altogether,
what was the cost of each DVD player?
Let x = laptop
Let y = DVD player
(1)x+y=$2960|−yx=2960−y(2)5x+4y=$14438|x=2960−y5⋅(2960−y)+4y=144385⋅2960−5y+4y=1443814800−5y+4y=1443814800−y=14438|⋅(−1)−14800+y=−14438|+14800y=14800−14438y=$362x=2960−y|y=362x=2960−362x=$2598
