Answer:

Jose has 70 Panini, 50 Upper Deck, and 80 Topps cards.

Explanation:

Given that Jose has 200 baseball cards, and he has the Topps brand which I have paid $ 1.50 each, Upper Deck Company brand which I have paid $ 5.75 each, and Panini Group brand which I have paid $ 2.60 each, and he has 20 fewer Upper Deck Company brand than Panini Group brand, and the total amount he spent was $ 589.50, to determine how many of each brand of baseball cards does he have, the following calculation must be performed:

100 Panini + 80 Upper Deck + 20 Topps = X

100 x 2.6 + 80 x 5.75 + 20 x 20 x 1.5 = X

260 + 460 + 30 = X

X = 750

80 Panini + 60 Upper Deck + 60 Topps = X

80 x 2.6 + 60 x 5.75 + 60 x 1.5 = X

208 + 345 + 90 = X

X = 643

60 Panini + 40 Upper Deck + 100 Topps = X

60 x 2.6 + 40 x 5.75 + 100 x 1.5 = X

156 + 230 + 150 = X

X = 536

70 Panini + 50 Upper Deck + 80 Topps = X

70 x 2.6 + 50 x 5.75 + 80 x 1.5 = X

182 + 287.5 + 120 = X

X = 589.5

Therefore, Jose has 70 Panini, 50 Upper Deck, and 80 Topps cards.
