The town librarian bought a combination of new-release movies on dvd for $20 and classic movies on dvd for $8. let x represent the number of new releases, and let y represent the number of classics. if the librarian had a budget of $500 and wanted to purchase as many dvds as possible, which values of x and y could represent the number of new-release and classic movies bought?

x = 1, y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Value of new-releases (x) = $20 each

Value of classic (y) = $8 each

Total budget = $500

Equation : 20x + 8y = 500

The librarian wants to purchase maximum DVDs. She can get more DVDs of classic movies for $8 as they are less costly.

Lets assume the librarian buys at least one new-release DVD.

x=1

20x + 8y = 500

8y + 20(1) = 500

y = 60

Therefore, in a budget of $500, the librarian can purchase 60 classic movies and 1 new-release.
