The answer is 100 if you do it step-by-step
Answer:
25X + 25Y = 1700
25X + 100Y = 3200
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the principal of a high school spent $1700 for X desk and Y chairs at $25 each. Then, the equation will be
25X + 25Y = 1700 ....... (1)
If he had bought half the number of desk in twice the number of chairs he would have spent 1600. That is
25(X/2) + 25(2Y) = 1600
25X/2 + 50Y = 1600
Find the LCM and cross multiply
25X + 100Y = 3200 ........(2)
