Respuesta :

Answer:the price of one large gift is $60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one large gift.

Melanie bought 4 large gifts and 2 small gifts. Since each small gift costs $10, it means that the total amount that Melanie spent is

4x + 2×10 = 4x + 20

Mary bought 1 large gift and 20 small gifts. It means that the total amount that Mary spent is

x + 20×10 = x + 200

They both spent the same amount of money. This means that

4x + 20 = x + 200

4x - x = 200 - 20

3x = 180

x = 60
