  1. I will do the first, you do the second

    number of $19's --- x
    number of $26's --- x-3
    number of $23's --- 32 - x - (x-3) = 35-2x

    19x + 26(x-3) + 23(35-2x) = 716
    19x + 26x - 78 + 805 - 46x = 716
    -x = -11
    x = 11

    he sold 11 of the $19's
    8 of the $26's and
    13 of the $23's
