Problema Solution
A clothing company budgets $2450 to restock 60 items. Jeans sell for $50, shoes for $40, and hats $15. You need to buy twice as many pairs of shoes than hats. If you buy all three types of clothing, how many of each type should you buy?

Let
x = the number of jeans
y = the number of shoes
z = the number of hats
x + y + z = 60
50x + 40y + 15z = 2450
y = 2z
