In a photo contest, prize money of $30, $20, and $10 was awarded to the first-, second-, and third-place photos, respectively, in several categories. No other prize money was awarded. Photographers could submit an unlimited number of photos to the contest but could enter each photo in only 1 category. Julia received a total of $110 in prize money from the contest. How many of her photos were awarded second place in their categories?
(1) Twice as many of Julia's photos were awarded third place as were awarded first place in their categories.
(2) A total of 6 of Julia's photos received awards.

In a photo contest, prize money of $30, $20, and $10 was awarded to the first-, second-, and third-place photos, respectively, in several categories. No other prize money was awarded. Photographers could submit an unlimited number of photos to the contest but could enter each photo in only 1 category. Julia received a total of $110 in prize money from the contest. How many of her photos were awarded second place in their categories?
Let the numbers of first, second, and third place photos be x, y, and z.
30x + 20y + 10z = 110
(1) Twice as many of Julia's photos were awarded third place as were awarded first place in their categories.
30x + 20y + 10(2x) = 110
Notice that since 10 is multiplied by 2x, the only way to get 110, which is not a multiple of 20, is to have an odd number of 30s. So, x must be odd.
If x = 1,, the addition can work.
If x = 3, 2x = 6. So, the total will be greater than 110.
Thus, x = 1, and we can figure out the rest.
Sufficient.
(2) A total of 6 of Julia's photos received awards.
Try different combinations.
x = 0, y = 5, and z = 1 works.
0(30) + 5(20) + 1(10) = 110
x = 1, y = 3, and z = 2 works.
1(30) + 3(20) + 2(10) = 110
Insufficient.

Twice as many of Julia's photos were awarded third place as were awarded first place in their categories - doesnt it mean x=2z

I see you are confused when the twice or a multiplier is preceded before 2 objects being compared, I would recommend you to write in proportional form if confused.
In this case, "Twice as many of Julia's photos were awarded third place as were awarded first place in their categories" means:
[z][/x] = 2:1
whereas what you have mentioned means first place was twice of third.
I hope you see the difference when you paraphrase it. It helped to think of such statements in proportion form if confused.
