In one day, a book store earned $\$ 163$ in sales for 4 copies of a new cookbook and 5 copies of a new science fiction novel. On the next day, it earned $\$ 126$ in sales for 3 copies of the cookbook and 4 ...copiess.of.the science fiction novel. What wh the price of each book? cookbook novel

Step 1 ：Let's denote the price of the cookbook as x and the price of the novel as y.

Step 2 ：From the information given, we can form two equations: \(4x + 5y = 163\) and \(3x + 4y = 126\).

Step 3 ：We can solve this system of equations to find the values of x and y.

Step 4 ：The solution to the system of equations is {x: 22, y: 15}.

Step 5 ：Final Answer: The price of the cookbook is \(\boxed{22}\) dollars and the price of the science fiction novel is \(\boxed{15}\) dollars.
