    25X + 25Y = 1700

    25X + 100Y = 3200

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that the principal of a high school spent $1700 for X desk and Y chairs at $25 each. Then, the equation will be

    25X + 25Y = 1700 ... (1)

    If he had bought half the number of desk in twice the number of chairs he would have spent 1600. That is

    25 (X/2) + 25 (2Y) = 1600

    25X/2 + 50Y = 1600

    Find the LCM and cross multiply

    25X + 100Y = 3200 ... (2)
