Let the number of Blue casset be b and that of green be g.
Thus the total number of cassets will be:
b+g=16
hence
g=16-b.......i
The total amount was:
45b+55g=830..ii
plugging i in ii we get:
45b+55(16-b)=830
45b+880-55b=830
simplifying
45b-55b=830-880
-10b=-50
thus
b=5
hence
g=16-5=11
number of blue cassets was 5 and that of green was 11

SAS.. Can I have brainliest?
Step-by-step explanation:
X + 5y = 1 . . . . (1)
8x - 2y = 3 . . . .(2)
Solution 1.
From (1), x = 1 - 5y
substituting for x in (2), we have:
8(1 - 5y) - 2y = 3
8 - 40y - 2y = 3
8 - 42y = 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
x = 1 - 5(5/42) = 1 - 25/42 = 17/42.
Solution 2.
Multiply (1) by 8, to get:
8x + 40y = 8 . . . . . (3)
(3) - (2) = 40y - (-2y) = 8 - 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
substitute for y into (3), to get:
8x + 40(5/42) = 8
8x + 100/21 = 8
8x = 8 - 100/21 = 68/21
x = (68/21)/8 = 17/42
2.25c+1.5m context is that 2.25c represents the price of selling bags of cookies, hint the c. 1.5m represents the price of selling muffins, hint the m. In whole the equation represent the amount of money the bake sale would make minus the $25 donation.
