Solve a word problem by creating and solving a system of linear equations

Solve the word problem by creating and solving a system of linear equations.

1) Suppose an economy consists of three sectors: Energy (E), Manufacturing (M), and Agriculture (A).

Sector E sells 70% of its output to M and 30% to A.
