Answer:

Small candies =9

Extra large candies =12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let small candies =x

Extra large candies =y

the number of candies is at least 20.

x+y\geq20

Cost of 1 small candy =\$4

Cost of 1 extra large candy =\$12

but she has only \$180 to spend

4x+12y\leq180

Solve for

x+y=20.......(1)\\4x+12y=180.....(2)\\eqn(2)-eqn(1)\times4\\8y=100\\y=\frac{100}{8} \\y=\frac{25}{8} \\from\ eqn(1)\\x+\frac{25}{2}=20\\ x=20-\frac{25}{2} \\x=\frac{15}{2}

Since number of candies should be integer.

let x=7,y=13

total spend 4\times7+12\times13=184 which is more than \$180, so this combination is not possible.

let\ x=8,y=12\\8\times4+12\times12=176

She has \$4 more so she can buy 1 more small candy.

Hence  small candy =9

extra large candy =12
