Answer provided by our tutors

let


x = the number of basic kits sold


y = the number of exotic kits sold


consumers bought 10 times as many basic kits than exotic kits:


x = 10y


the total sales for both was $15,750:


30x + 150y = 15750


by solving the system of equations:


x = 10y


30x + 150y = 15750


we find:


x = 350 basic kits


y = 35 exotic kits
