Birthday

A mother bought 21 desserts for her daughter Mira's birthday. One type of dessert cost 9 CZK and the other cost 12 CZK. She paid 213 CZK in total. How many of each type did she buy?

Final Answer:

k =  8
s =  13

Step-by-step explanation:


k+s = 21
9s + 12k = 213

k+s = 21
9·s + 12·k = 213

k+s = 21
12k+9s = 213

Pivot: Row 1 ↔ Row 2
12k+9s = 213
k+s = 21

Row 2 - 1/12 · Row 1 → Row 2
12k+9s = 213
0.25s = 3.25


s = 3.25/0.25 = 13
k = 213-9s/12 = 213-9 · 13/12 = 8

k = 8
s = 13
