Let's assume the cost of one guitar pick is x dollars. Since the strings cost $1 more than the picks, the cost of one guitar string would be (x+1) dollars.
Since you bought 25 guitar picks and 25 strings, the total cost would be 25x + 25(x+1) = 50 dollars.
Simplifying the equation, we have 25x + 25x + 25 = 50.
Combining like terms, we get 50x + 25 = 50.
Subtracting 25 from both sides, we have 50x = 25.
Dividing both sides by 50, we get x = 0.5.
Therefore, the cost of one guitar pick is $0.5 and the cost of one guitar string is (0.5+1) = $1.5.
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.
