Awedding 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.

The wedding planner must have purchased 28 small lanterns and 12 large lanterns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of small and large lanterns purchased be S and L respectively.

S + L = 40   Equation 1

L = 40 - S

25S + 40L = 1180   Equation 2

25S + 40(40 - S) = 1180

25S + 1600 - 40S = 1180

-15S = 1180 - 1600

-15S = -420

S = 28

L = 40 - S

L = 40 - 28

L = 12

The wedding planner must have purchased 28 small lanterns and 12 large lanterns.
