Courtney purchased 15 cases of small portion meals and 5 cases of large portion meals.
Let's set up two equations:
x+y=20 We know she brought total of 20, some of each so x=small y=big
20x+ 30y=450
x+y= 20
-y -y
------------
x= 20 -y
substitute into the other equation:
20 (20-y) + 30y = 450
400 - 20y + 30y = 450
400+ 10 y = 450
10 y = 50
y= 5
So she brought 5 big cases. Then substitute the value of y into one of the equations.
5+ x = 20
x= 15
So we bought 15 small cases and 5 big cases.
