Q. In printing an article of 48,000 words, a printer decides to use two sizes of type. Using the larger type, a printed page contains 1,800 words. Using smaller type, a page contains 2,400 words. The article is allotted 21 full pages in a magazine. How many pages must be in smaller type?

This is high school mathematics...

Lpages+Spages=21pages  =>  L+S=21
          and
Lpages(1800/page)+Spages(2400/page)=48000  =>  1800L+2400S=48000  =>  18L+24S=480  =>  3L+4S=80


We are looking for S.   Solve for S...

   since L=21-S,      3(21-S)+4S=80  =>  63-3S+4S=80  =>  S=17
