x + y = 60
0.15x + 0.40y = 0.25(60)
x + y = 60
0.15x + 0.40y = 0.25(60)
x = 36; y = 24
x + y = 50
0.20x + 0.70y = 0.40(50)
x + y = 60
0.15x + 0.40y = 0.25(60)
x = 36; y = 24
q + d = 250
0.25q + 0.10d = 39.25
q + d = 250
0.25q + 0.10d = 39.25
q = 95; d = 155
n + d = 125
0.05n + 0.10d = 10.50
n + d = 125
0.05n + 0.10d = 10.50
