Answer 1

Goose bought = 15  & Ducks Bought = 12  if a Chief steward spent $2,820 on buying  27  Birds each goose cost $140 and each duck Cost $60

Step-by-step explanation:

a Chief steward spent $2,820 on buying goose and ducks

Let say goose Bought = G

& Duck Bought = D

total of numbers of birds bought is 27

=> G + D = 27     Eq1

each goose cost $140 and each duck Cost $60

=> 140G  + 60D  = 2820

=> 14G + 6D = 282

=> 7G  + 3D = 141     Eq2

Eq2 - 3 * Eq1

=> 4G = 60

=> G = 15

D = 12

Goose bought = 15  & Ducks Bought = 12
