Let x = the number of pounds of regular sausage produced
0.72x = the number of pounds of pork used to make the x pounds of regular sausage
0.28x = the number of pounds of turkey used to make the x pounds of regular sausage

Let y = the number of pounds of lite sausage produced
0.22y = the number of pounds of pork used to make the y pounds of lite sausage
0.78y = the number of pounds of turkey used to make the y pounds of lite sausage



Multiply both equations by 100



Divide both equations by 2



To eliminate x, multiply the first equation by 14 and
the second by -36



Add them term by term





Substituting in 











So they should produce 2240 pounds of regular sausage and 1760 pounds of 
lite sausage.
