You can put this solution on YOUR website! King Street Printing recently charged 1.9 cents per sheet of paper, but 2.4 cents per sheet for paper made of recycled fibers. Darren's bill for 150 sheets of paper was $3.41. How many sheets of each type were used?
---------------------
Let number of regular sheets be "x" ; value of these is 1.9x cents
---------------------------
# of recycled sheets is "150-x" ; value is 2.4(150-x)=360-2.4x cents
----------------------------
EQUATIONS:
value + value = 341 cents
1.9x + 360-2.4x = 341
-0.5x = -19
x = 38 (# of sheets of regular paper)
150-x = 112 (# of sheets of recycled paper)
