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
