Question 1112444:
The Everton College store paid $19081908 for an order of 5151 calculators. The store paid $88 for each scientific calculator. The others, all graphing calculators, cost the store $5858 each. How many of each type of calculator was ordered?
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
S=scientific
G=graphic
S+G=51; G=51-S
88S+(51-S)58=1908
88S+2958-58S=1908
This won't solve with a positive number since 30S=-1050
This is because 51 calculators and an order of $1908 is an average price of about $40 per calculator. Neither type is that cheap, so the order for 51 can't work for positive numbers.
