Let type a be x
Type a------------------------- Type b-------------- total
x--------------------------------84-x----------------84
$6.5-----------------------------$8.25---------------$588
6.5x+(84-x)*8.25= 588
6.5x +693-8.25x = 588
-1.75x=-693-588
x= -105/1.75
x= 60
Type a is 60 numbers
Type b will be 84-60= 24 type b
