8. The ABC Ink Company is a small family owned company that sells packages of ink cartridge refills
for smartpens. The Xavier set contains one blue ink refill and one black ink refill. The Yvonne set
includes two blue ink refills, three black ink refills, and one red ink refill. The Zena set includes
