Answer: b) (32,28)


Explanation:

Let x be the number of polio individual doses and y be the number of each measles individual doses.

Then the number of polio vaccination = 44x

The number of measles vaccination multi-dose = 22x

According to the question,


x+y=60....(1)\\44x+22y=2024.....(2)

Dividing 22 on equation (2) both sides, we gwt


2x+y=92....(3)

Subtract (1) from (3), we get


x=32

Substitute x=32 in equation (1), we get


32+y=60\\\Rightarrow\ y=60-32\\\Rightarrow\ y=28

Hence, Dr. Potter gives 32 individual polio vaccination and 28 individual measles vaccinations .
