    350 white copies and 50 coloured copies

    Step-by-step explanation:

    $0.10 per coloured copy (c)

    $0.05 per white copy (w)

    $22.50 total bill

    c = number of coloured copies

    w = number of white copies

    400 = number of total copies

    Write a system of equations:

    c + w = 400; c = 400 - w

    0.1c + 0.05w = 22.5

    Replace one variable in the more complex equation:

    0.1 (400 - w) + 0.05w = 22.5

    Solve:

    0.1 (400 - w) + 0.05w = 22.5

    40 - 0.1w + 0.05w = 22.5

    40 - 0.05w = 22.5

    -0.05w = 22.5 - 40

    -0.05w = - 17.5

    w = - 17.5 : - 0.05

    w = 350

    c = 400 - w

    c = 400 - 116.7

    c = 50
