Form a simultaneous equation and let the calculators be known as x and y:

9x+30y = 1170

x+y = 74

Multiply all terms in the bottom equation in order to eliminate x:

9x+30y = 1170

9x+9y = 666

Subtract bottom equation from top equation:

21y = 504 => y = 24

Substitute the value of y into the original equations to find the value of x:

x = 50 and y = 24

Therefore: 50 calculators at 9 dollars each and 24 calculators at 30 dollars were bought.

Check: (9*50)+(30*24) = 1170 dollars
