Erica works in a soda-bottling factory. As bottles pass her on a conveyer belt, she puts caps on them. Unfortunately, Erica sometimes breaks a bottle before she can cap it. She gets paid 10 cents for each bottle she successfully caps, but her boss deducts 1 cent from her pay for each bottle she breaks. Erica is having a bad morning. 26 bottles have come her way, but she has been breaking some and has only earned 18 cents so far today. How many bottles has Erica capped and how many has she broken?
