Answer

$ \{ 80, 20 \}$

Work Step by Step

We can write the system of equations as: $0.8 x+0.6 y=76~~~(1) \\ x+ y=100 ~~~(2)$ Equation (2) can be re-written as: $y=100-x$ Plug $y=100-x$ in equation (1) to obtain: $0.8 x+0.6 (100-x)=76 \implies x=80$ Now, equation (2) becomes: $y=100-80=20$ Therefore, a solution set is $ \{ 80, 20 \}$
