to many unknowns for me,ive been looking at this for a half hour if i had the total amount spent i could get an answer.
i get total amount of radios=x
where y= the rest of the radios
so
but then the "z" variable is the total amount spent and "c" the cost of 1 radio
so and






well ill give it a shot, to solve for x
substitute z
substitute y





.
??
dunno i need one more known variable
