An individual wants to bring multiple copies of two comic books to a convention this week. There are 50 copies of the comic book the individual wants to sell (S) and 13 copies of a comic book the individual wants appraised (A), with a combined weight of 133.4 oz. The individual can only fit around 100 oz. of comics in a bag.
