Sally Firefly purchases hardwood lumber for a custom furniture-building shop. She uses three suppliers, Northern Hardwoods, Mountain Top, and Spring Valley. Lumber is classified as either clear or has defects, which includes 20% of the pile. A recent analysis of the defect lumber pile showed that 30% came from Northern Hardwoods and 50% came from Mountain Top. Analysis of the clear pile indicates that 40% came from Northern and 40% came from Spring Valley. What is the percent of clear lumber from each of the three suppliers? What is the percent of lumber from each of the three suppliers?
