5. I bought 25 guitar picks and 25 strings.. Strings cost $1 more than picks. I spent $50 on both. FInd the cost of one guitar string?

Answer 1

Let's assume the cost of one guitar pick is x dollars.
The cost of one guitar string is x+1 dollars.
Since the total number of guitar picks and guitar strings is 25:
25(x) + 25(x+1) = 50
25x + 25x + 25 = 50
50x + 25 = 50
50x = 25
x = 25/50
x = 1/2

Therefore, the cost of one guitar pick is 1/2 dollars.
The cost of one guitar string is 1/2 + 1 = 3/2 dollars.
