If you pick 320 pumpkins. Small are $2. large are $8. Total was $1900. How many small anf large were picked?

Answer 1

x = number of small pumpkins at $2 each

y = number of large pumpkins at $8 each

x + y = 320

2x + 8y = 1900

From the top equation, get

y = 320 - x,

plug this into the bottom equation, and solve for x. Then plug the solution for x into either equation and solve for y.

2x + 8(320 - x) = 1900

x = 110

y = 320 - x = 320 - 110

y = 210
