Kingdom, a toy chain, placed a seasonal order for two different stuffed
animals. The polar bears cost $11.25 each and the penguins cost $8.75 each. The
total cost of the order is $2,042.50 for 210 pieces. How many of each animal
were ordered?
Number of polar bears ordered: x
Number of penguins ordered: 210-x
