120t + 200c = 2150 ; that is given

100t + 300c = 2625 ; that is given

amistre64 · Answer

how much is a t?  ; get rid of the c's and solve really :)

amistre64 · Answer

120t + 200 = 2150  ; *3
100t + 300c = 2625 ; *-2


  360t + 600c = 2150(3)   = 6450
-200t -  600c = 2625(-2) = -5250
------------------------------
 160t + 0c  =  1200

  160t  = 1200

t = 1200/160 = 120/16 = 60/8 = 30/4 = 7.50
