Question 82374: This summer there were 867 campers at a basketball camp. Most of the campers wore "Air Jordan" shoes, but some wore "Ground McCombs" shoes. A pair of Air Jordans cost $160.95 at Finish Line. A pair of Ground McCombs cost $14.25 at Wal-Mart. The campers spent a total of $127,220.85 on shoes. How many campers wore Ground McCombs shoes?

Let number of students who wore AirJordan = J
Let number of students who wore GroundMcC = G
WE know that total number of students = 867
So J+G = 867
Price of 1pair of Air Jordans = $160.95
Price of 1pair of Ground McCombs = $14.25
Total price of AJ = J x (160.95)
Total price of GMc = G x (14.25)
Total price of all shoes = $127,220.85
J x (160.95)+ G x (14.25) = $127,220.85
J+G = 867
Can you solve from here?
