Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of books bought be represented by x.
Let the number of dvds bought be represented by y.
The information given in the question can be formed into an equation as:
x + y = 18 i
0.50x + 0.75y = 11 ii
Multiply equation i by 0.75
Multiply equation ii by 1
0.75x + 0.75y = 13.50 iii
0.50x + 0.75y = 11 iv
Subtract iv from iii
0.25x = 2.50
x = 2.50/0.25
x = 10
