TriX company produces pens and erasers. The cost of producing a unit item is 2TL lower than the cost of producing a unit eraser; The number of pencils produced is more than 400 than the number of erasers. The total variable cost was determined as 4.800TL and 2.000TL for pencil and eraser production, respectively. How much does it cost to produce one unit of eraser?
TL means Turkish Lira.

E = Cost to produce one item of Eraser.
P = Cost to produce one item of Pencil (or Pen - This seems confused. Maybe it's the same word in Turkish.).

There. You are almost done.

Please show YOUR work. You CAN'T have NOTHING to offer.

@Subhotosh Khan
The cost of producing a unit item, it is the cost per unit when calculating the cost in production.

The total variable cost, it is the cost that changes depending on the total production amount, that is, the cost that increases when the amount of production increases and decreases when it decreases.
