50 f + 20 t = 310
f + t = 11 ... 20 f + 20 t = 220
subtracting equations (to eliminate t)
30 f = 90 ... f = 3
substitute back to find t
f + t = 11 ... 20 f + 20 t = 220
subtracting equations (to eliminate t)
30 f = 90 ... f = 3
substitute back to find t

50x + 20y = 310
x + y = 11
multiply bottom equation by 20
50x + 20y = 310
20x + 20y = 220
substitute into 1st equation via elimination
30x = 90
x = 90 ÷ 30
x = 3
solve for y
3 + y = 11
y = 11 - 3
y = 8
Answer: 3 50c pieces and 8 20c pieces
