Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Price assuming he bought all large flags: [tex]20*8=160[/tex]

Amount of money more: [tex]160-112=48[/tex]

Difference of price in both flags: [tex]20-12=8[/tex]

Medium Flags: [tex]48\div8=6[/tex]

Large Flags: [tex]8-6=2[/tex]

----------------------------------

The reason why this works, is because the amount of money more comes from the difference between both flags.
