So we know that the decimal place will move one right. Well basically let's assume she could have bought these expressions:

x 10 x 3.50 = 35.00
x 9 x 3.50 = 31.50 + 3.75 = 35.25
x 8 x 3.5 = 28 + 3.75 x 2 = 35.5
x 7 x 3.5 = 24.5 + 3.75 x 35.75

We know that there is a pattern. See how the cents goes .25 up each time. So we know she'd buy 6 reams of white because (6 x 3.5 = 21) + (4 x 3.75 = 15) = 36.

W + b = 10
3.50w + 3.75b = 36.00

Rewrite the first equation for w then plug it into the second equation.
w = 10 - b
3.5(10 - b) + 3.75b = 36.00
35 - 3.5b + 3.75b = 36.00
35 + .25b = 36
Subtract 35 from both sides.
.25b = 1
Divide both sides by .25
b = 4
w + b = 10
w + 4 = 10
Subtract 4 from both sides
w = 6
White = 6
Blue = 4
