Answer:

Kami sold 28 large figurines

Explanation:

L = number of large figurines

S = number of small figurines

L+S = 70 since he sold 70 figurines

12L = 8S since the amount of money collected for the large figurines is equal to the amount of money for the small figurines

L+S = 70

12L = 8S

Divide by 8

12/8 L = S

3/2 L = S

Substitute this into the first equation

L+S = 70

L + 3/2 L = 70

Get a common denominator

2/2 L + 3/2L = 70

5/2 L = 70

Multiply each side by 2/5

2/5 * 5/2 L = 70 * 2/5

L = 28
