Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+x has to add up to 180
3x+x=180
4x/4=180/4
x=45
let the numbers be x and y
x + y = 1600 ----*
12%x = 20%y
0.12x = 0.2y
y = <u>0</u><u>.</u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u>x</u>
0.2
y = 0.6x
substitute in * eqn
x + 0.6x = 1600
1.6x = 1600
x = 1000
then,
y = 0.6*1000
y = 600
the numbers are 1000 and 600
$1.25 because if you bought 2 packs of them it would be $2.50 so you would be 0.09 cheaper
