Answer:

19 leather key chains

8 beaded key chains

Explanation:

Let's assume, that she bought x leather key chains and y beaded key chains.

Let's make two equations and put them in a system:

{x + y = 27,

{3x + 2y = 73;

y = 27 - x (from the first equation)

Replace y in the second equation:

3x + 2 × (27 - x) = 73

3x + 54 - 2x = 73

3x - 2x = 73 - 54

x = 19

y = 27 - 19 = 8
