There are infinitely many solutions. OC. There is no solution.
Solution
assume x set is purchased from one design which cost $20 per set.
assume y set is purchased from other design which cost $45 per set.
Total set as given =200
x + y = 200 --- (1)
Total money spend= 6500
20x + 45y = 6500 --- (2)
Multiplying equation 1 by 20 and subtracting eqn (1)- eqn (2)
20x + 20y = 4000
-20x - 45y =-6500
-25y = -2500
y = 100
x= 100
She has purchaged the 100 set of both design
