Answer

$\$2.39$

Work Step by Step

Let the price of one notebook be $x$. Let the price of one binder be $y$. The first equation is $6x+2y=23.52$ ...... (1) The second equation is $3x+4y=25.53$ ...... (2) Multiply equation (1) by $2$. $12x+4y=47.04$ ...... (3) Subtract equation (2) from equation (3). $12x+4y-(3x+4y)=47.04-25.53$ Simplify. $12x+4y-3x-4y=21.51$ $9x=21.51$ $x=\frac{21.51}{9}$ $x=2.39$.
