Answer:

The number of sleeping bags bought is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let "x" be the number of the sleeping bags that were bought, we can make the following equation....

(5x)(12) + (x)(45) = 1785

By solving the equation we get....

(5x)(12) + (x)(45) = 1785

60x + 45x = 1785

105x = 1785

x = 1785 / 105

x = 17

There for the number of sleeping bags bough is 17.
