A local Charity held a crafts fair selling donated, handmade items.
\n" ); document.write( "Total proceeds from the sale were $2800.
\n" ); document.write( "A total of 92 items were sold, some at $25 each and the rest at $45 each.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq:: t + f = 92
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq::: 25t+45f = 2800
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination::
\n" ); document.write( "5t + 5f = 5*92
\n" ); document.write( "5t + 9f = 560
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"f\":
\n" ); document.write( "4f = 100
\n" ); document.write( "f = 25 (# of items sold for $45)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"t\":
\n" ); document.write( "t + 25 = 92
\n" ); document.write( "t = 67 (# of items sold for $25)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
