    4 pizza and 4 videos

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let p represent the number of pizza

    let v represent the number of videos

    Total income = $40

    Price of pizza = $5

    Price of video = $4

    Price of pizza and video = $5 + $4

    = $9

    Total amount spent on pizza = (5/9) * 40

    = 200/9 = $22.22

    Total number of pizza bought = 22.22/5 = 4.4

    = 4 pizza (approximately)

    Total amount spent on video = (4/9) * 40 = 160/9

    = 17.77

    Total number of videos = 17.77/4 = 4.44 = 4 videos (approximately)

    Price of video = $4

    Let pizza be represented as p
