From the given we can create several equations:
(i)
(ii) Q = 2H
(iii) D = 2Q
(iv) N = 3D
Substituting everything in for the variable H, we get
(v)
solving, we get
(vi)
(vii)
so,
Q = 2H = 2*5 = 10
D = 2Q = 2*10 = 20
N = 3D = 3*20 = 60.
--
checking we get
5(60) + 10(20) + 25(10) + 50(5) = ????
300 + 200 + 250 + 250 = 1000
