A hardware store makes a mixed bag of 42 items using screws, bolts, and washers. The cost of screws are $3.00 each, bolts cost $2.00 each, and washers are $1.50 each. The mixture calls for four times as many screws than bolts. The total cost of the mixture is $102.00. How much of each item did the store use?
