Answer 1

Price of milk is `$2.4` and price of magazine is `$2.25`

Explanation:

Total tax paid; `4.95-4.65 =$0.30`
Let `$x` be the price of milk , then `$(4.65-x)` be the price of magazine. So `x*0.05+(4.65-x)*0.08=0.30 or 0.05x-0.08x+0.372=0.3 or 0.03x=.072 or x=.072/0.03=2.4 :. 4.65-2.4=2.25`
Hence price of milk is `$2.4` and price of magazine is `$2.25`[Ans]
