    For the answer to the question above, let us make an equation.

    Let x be the cost of each bed sheet and y be the cost of each of the towel. It is represented by this equation

    38x + 61y = 791.50

    54x + 50y = 923

    Solving for x and y in the equation gives,

    x = 12

    y = 5.5.

    1 bedsheet costs $12 and each towel costs $5.5.
