The total cost for 1 folder, 1 notebook and 1 set of pencils will be equal to 22 dolares.

organizing the information given in the statement we have that:

  • Folder = 2
  • Notebook = 4(Folder)
  • Pencil = 2(Notebook)

Doing the calculations for the value of the notebook:

[tex]Notebook = 4X = 4(2) = $8[/tex]

Doing the calculations for the value of the set of pencils:

[tex]Pencil = 2Y = 2(8) = $16[/tex]

Doing the calculations for the value of the total:

[tex]\$2 + \$8 + \$16 = \$22[/tex]
