The Everton College store paid $1966 for an order of 52 calculators. The store paid $8 for each scientific calculator. The others, all graphing calculators, cost the store $58 each. How many of each type of calculator was ordered? The store order _____ scientific calculators and _____ graphing calculators.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let # of scientific be \"s\".
\n" ); document.write( "Let # of graphing be \"g\".
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATIONS:
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq.: s + g = 52
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq.: 8s + 58g = 1966
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange:
\n" ); document.write( "s = 52-g
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute to solve for \"g\":
\n" ); document.write( "8(52-g) + 58g = 1966
\n" ); document.write( "416 - 8g + 58g = 1966
\n" ); document.write( "50g = 1550
\n" ); document.write( "g = 31 (# of graphing calculators)
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into s = 52-g to solve for \"s\":
\n" ); document.write( "52-g = 52-31 = 21 (# of scientific calculators)
