Question 740637: Yor are in charge of event planning for a major corporation that is having a martini coctail hour fot its guest.

Let's use g for amount of bottles of Gray Goose and y for amount of bottles of Skyy.

g+y=37. Accounts for the numbers of bottles.

36g+20y=1000, accounting for cost, budget. Divide both sides of this by 4:
9g+5y=250

Solve the system:
------------------
9g%2B5y=250
g%2By=37
------------------

Substitution may be easier than elimination.
