Solution

The problem can be solved by setting up a system of linear equations. Let's denote the price of a regular gift basket as R and the price of a deluxe gift basket as D.

From the fall play, we know that: 5R + 24D = $1,122 (equation 1)

From the spring musical, we know that: 5R + 29D = $1,337 (equation 2)

We can subtract equation 1 from equation 2 to find the price of a deluxe gift basket: 5D = 215So,D=215 So, D = 215 / 5 = $43

Substitute D = 43intoequation1:5R+2443 into equation 1: 5R + 24 * 43 = 1,1225R=1,122 5R = 1,122 - 24 * 435R=43 5R = 1,122 - 1,032=1,032 = 90 So, R = 90/5=90 / 5 = 18

Therefore, the drama club is charging 18foraregulargiftbasketand18 for a regular gift basket and 43 for a deluxe gift basket.
