1st condition: By Ratio:

2nd Condition:
800,000(Gn)+1,100,000(Bl)=18,600,000
Via 1st Condtn we get:
---> 3rd Condition, susbt. in 2nd Contn.:
.
800,000(5/2)Bl+1,100,000(Bl)=18,600,000
2,000,000(Bl)+1,100,000(Bl)=18,600,000
3,100,000(Bl)=18,600,000, Isolate "Black" by dividing both terms 3,100,0000

---> number of Black jeeps
Via condition 3:
---> number of Green Jeeps
In doubt? Go back Condtn. 2 (amount of fuel consumed):

, good
Thank you,
