In printing an article of 24,000 words, a printer decides to use two sizes of type. Using the larger type, a printed page contains 1,200 words. Using the smaller type, a page contains 1,500 words. The article is allotted 17 full pages in a magazine. How many pages must be in small type?

by amount invested...
total investment: 10,000

X=3000*6500/10000

Y=3000*2000/10000

and so on.

b. 24000=1200*L + 1500*S
S+L=17

can you solve it now?

1500x + 1200y = 30000 -1500 =28,500
1500x=28500
x=19?
