A wedding planner purchased small and large lanterns for a wedding reception. The small lanterns cost $25 each, and the large lanterns cost $40 each. The planner purchased a total of 40 lanterns for a total of $1180.

Answer: y=12 x=28

Explanation:
x=Amount of Small Lanterns y=Amount of Large Lanterns
25x+40y=1180
x+y=40
x=40-y
25(40-y)+40y=1180
1000-25y+40y=1180
1000+15y=1180
15y=180
y=12
x+12=40
x=28
