2.50x+1.50(200-x)=380
\n" ); document.write( "2.50x+300-1.50x=380
\n" ); document.write( "x=380-300
\n" ); document.write( "x=80 $2.50 souvenirs were sold.
\n" ); document.write( "200-80=120 $1.50 souvenirs were sold.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "2.50*80+1.50*120=380
\n" ); document.write( "200+180=380
\n" ); document.write( "380=380 \n" ); document.write( "
