Kingdom, a toy chain, placed a seasonal order for two different stuffed

animals. The polar bears cost $11.25 each and the penguins cost $8.75 each. The

total cost of the order is $2,042.50 for 210 pieces. How many of each animal

were ordered?

Number of polar bears ordered:      x     

Number of penguins ordered:    210-x   

Equation:           $11.25x + $8.75(210-x) = $2042.50
