lets call the number of 6 dollar sales x and the number of 11 dollar sales y.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=37000.......eq 1----> x=37000-y
\n" ); document.write( "6x+11y=262000...eq 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "take x's value from eq 1 and plug it into eq 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "6(37000-y)+11y=262000
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "222000-6y+11y=262000
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5y=40000
