Scouts

Scouts purchased two types of camp cans for a total cost of 1460 CZK. The first can cost CZK 32, and the second cost 25 CZK. How many cans were purchased for each type?

Final Answer:

x₁ =  5
y₁ =  52
x₂ =  30
y₂ =  20

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} 32x+25y=1460 \\ {x}_1=5 \end{gathered}$$

$y_1=\frac{1460-32\cdot x_1}{25}=\frac{1460-32\cdot 5}{25}=52$

$x_2=30$

$y_2=\frac{1460-32\cdot x_2}{25}=\frac{1460-32\cdot 30}{25}=20$
