Explanation / Answer

Lets set fake fur = x and leather = y We also know 25x + 15y = 9300 (i)and 10x + 30y = 12600 (ii), and if you solve for x and y, you will get x = 150 and y = 370. the way you solve two equations are by making coefficient one variable of one equation be it x or y equal to the other equation and then you can apply the x or y to get the value for the other variable.
