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. 

Hope this helps! Please give me the brainliest answer if you like it! If you have further questions, please leave a comment or add me as a friend!
