[tex]\tt 2n+6p+5m=15.5\times 1\\\\n+2p+2m=6.25\times 2\\===========\:-\\\\2n+6p+5m=15.5\\\\2n+4p+4m=12.5\\===========\:-\\\\2p+m=3\rightarrow p=1.25\\\\2(1.25)+m=3\rightarrow m=3-2.5=\boxed{\tt m=0.5}[/tex]

(1)substitution

[tex]\tt n+3(1.25)+2(0.5)=7.5\rightarrow \boxed{\tt n=2.75}}[/tex]

an individual notebook cost: $2.75

a package of pencils cost: $1.25

an individual marker cost: $0.5
