Answer:

The total number of hardwood mulch is 48 and pine bark mulch is 128 and this can be determine by forming the linear equation in two variables.

Given :

A local boys club sold 176 bags of mulch and made a total of $520.

Sold two types of mulch : hardwood for $3.50 a bag and pine bark for $2.75 a bag.

Let the number of hardwood mulch be x and the number of pine bark mulch be y then the total number of mulch will be:

  --- (1)

And the total amount is given by the equation:

   ----  (2)

Substitute the value of y in equation (2).

y = 128

Now, put the value of y in equation (1).

x = 176 - 128

x = 48

So, the total number of hardwood mulch is 48 and pine bark mulch is 128
