Answer:
(B) 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let small puppet be represented by-----------------s
Let large puppet be represented by-----------------l
Total number of puppets expression will be: s+l =25---------a
The expression for total costs will be : 1$ s + $2l=$30-------b
Equation a can be written as; s= 25-l ------------c
Use equation c in equation b as
$1( 25-l )+$ 2l = $30
25-l + 2l = 30
25+l =30
l= 30-25 =5
l, large puppets = 5
s, small puppets = 25-5 = 20
Answer choice A is incorrect because 25 is the total number of all puppets
Answer choice C and D are incorrect because the numbers are less that that of small puppets.
