Question 1092074: At the Clam Shack, a large bucket has 25 clams, and a small bucket has 13. If an order has 214 clams in 10 buckets, how many buckets of each size make up the order? Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. 10 large and small buckets in total.
2. 214 clams in total.
Multiply 1 by 13 and subtract from 2.
Solve for L then use either equation to solve for S.
