You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1st condition: By Ratio:
2nd Condition:
800,000(Gn)+1,100,000(Bl)=18,600,000
Via 1st Condtn we get:
 ---> 3rd Condition, susbt. in 2nd Contn.:
.
800,000(5/2)Bl+1,100,000(Bl)=18,600,000
2,000,000(Bl)+1,100,000(Bl)=18,600,000
3,100,000(Bl)=18,600,000, Isolate "Black" by dividing both terms 3,100,0000
 ---> number of Black jeeps
Via condition 3:
 ---> number of Green Jeeps
In doubt? Go back Condtn. 2 (amount of fuel consumed):
 , good
Thank you,
