A garden supply store sells two types of lawn mowers. Total sales of mowers for the year were $8379.70. The total number of mowers sold was 30. The small mower costs $249.99. The large mower costs $329.99. Find the number sold of each type of mower.
----------------------------------
Let number of 249.99 mowers be "x"; Value is 249.99x dollars
--------------------------
# of 329.99 mowers is "30-x"; Value is 329.99(30-x) dollars
-------------------------------
EQUATION:
value + value = 8379.70
249.99x + 329.99*30-329.99x = 8379.70
-80x + 9899.70 = 8379.70
-80x = -1520.00
x = 19 (number of the cheaper mowers sold)
30-x = 11 (number of more expensive mowers sold)
