Steps/Work
The smallest amount that the company can spend is the LCM of 375 and 150, which is 750 for each, which is total 1500.
The number of 1st type of computers which costing $375 = 750/375 = 2.
The number of 2nd type of computers which costing $150 = 750/150 = 5.
Total = 2+5 = 7

The number of 1st type of computers which costing $375 = 750/375 = 2.
The number of 2nd type of computers which costing $150 = 750/150 = 5.
