Answer 1

Answer:41 Blankets and 41 Shawls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of shawl be x, and number of blanket be y.

As we know there are 82 houses contributing Rs 500 each, thus total contribution would be 82*500=41000.

As cost of shawl is Rs350, and cost of blanket is Rs650.

Thus for x shawl and y blankets, the price should be equal to contribution.

So,

350*x+650*y=41000.

35*x+65*y=4100 (Taking 10 common)

7*x+13*y=820 (Taking 5 common)

But as its written that the resident distributes 1 of each shawl and blanket to the poor, thus x=y.

So the equation becomes,

7*x+13*x=820

=> 20*x=820 (took x common)

=> x=820/20

=> x=82/2

=> x=41.

And thus y=41

So there are 41 of each blanket and shawl to distributed.
