Given :

An online store sells only two types of bandanas: cotton bandanas and silk bandanas. Cotton bandanas cost $7 each, and silk bandanas cost $11 each.

Mrs. Tran spent a total of $93 on bandanas at this store.

To Find :

How many cotton bandanas did Mrs. Tran buy.

Solution :

Let, number of cotton and silk bandanas buys are x and y respectively.

So, 7x + 11y = 93

x = (93 - 11y)/ 7

Putting y = 1 , x = 82/7 ( not possible since x can only be positive integer )

Putting y = 4 , x = 7

Therefore, Mrs . Tran will buy 7 cotton bandanas.

Hence, this is the required solution.

answer is 144
