Answer:
C. 48 lizards and 24 frogs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let F = number of frog lures, and let L = number of lizard lures.
Marion bought 14 packages of plastic frog and lizard fishing lures.
She bought frog lures in packages of 4 and lizard lures in packages of 6 for a total of 72 lures.
F + L = 72
F/4 + L/6 = 14
12 * F/4 + 12 * L/6 = 12 * 14
3F + 2L = 168
(+) -3F - 3L = -216
------------------------------
-L = -48
L = 48
F + L = 72
F + 48 = 72
F = 24
