At the local pet store, zebra fish cost $1.80 each and neon tetras cost $2.10 each. if ernesto bought 16 fish for a total cost of $30.90, not including tax, how many of each type of fish did he buy?

The number of each type of fish that Ernesto bought are 7 neon tetras and 9 zebra fishes.

Given the following data:

To calculate the number of each type of fish that Ernesto bought:

First of all, we would assign a variable to each type of fish that Ernesto bought and then write a system of algebraic equations. Finally, we would solve the system of algebraic equations by using the substitution method.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

   .....equation 1.

  .....equation 2.

From eqn. 1, we have:

     .....equation 3.

Substituting eqn. 3 into eqn. 2, we have:

N = 7 neon tetras.

For the zebra fish:

Z = 9 zebra fishes.
