Answer 1

Number of game package = 16.5

Number of food package = 8.5

Explanation:

LET :

Food package = a

Game package = b

a + b = 25 - - - (1)

20a + 32b = 602 - - - (2)

a = 25 - b

Put a = 25 - b into (2)

20(25 - b) + 32b = 602

500 - 20b + 32b = 602

12b = 102

b = 102 / 12

b = 8.5

a = 25 - b

a = 25 - 8.5

a = 16.5

Number of game package = 16.5

Number of food package = 8.5
