Answer:
Italian style = 18,000 packages
French style = 14,000 packages
Oriental style = 53,000 packages
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached figure to represent the question
let the number of packages of Italian style = x
let the number of packages of French style = y
let the number of packages of Oriental style = z
By using the figure we can make the following equations:
0.4x + 0 * y + 0.2z = 17,800
0.3x + 0.5y + 0.3z = 28,300
0.3x + 0.5y + 0.5z = 38,900
Solving the 3 equations together to find x , y and z
Using the calculator:
x = 18,000 ⇒ Italian style packages
y = 14,000 ⇒ French style packages
z = 53,000 ⇒ Oriental style packages
