Pete bought two toys, a car and a drum. The drum cost 15 pesos more than the car. If he paid 98 pesos for the two, how did each toy cost?

[tex]a car : \ x \\a drum : \ \ x+15 \\\\ x+x+15=98\\\\2x+15=98\ \ |\ subtract\ 15\ to\ both\ sides \\\\2x=83 \ \ | \ divide \ both \ sides\ by\ 2 \\\\x=41.5 \ pesos \\\\a car : \ 41.5 \ pesos \\a drum : \ \ x+15= 41.5+15=56.5 \ pesos [/tex]
