A counter in Duncan's kitchen is 1 yard wide and 3 yards long. Duncan wants to replace the counter with a granite countertop, which would cost $207.00 per square yard. How much would the granite countertop cost?

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
