A garden supply store sells two types of lawn mowers. The smaller mower costs $249.99 and the larger mower costs $329.99. If 30 total mowers were sold and the total sales for a given year was $8379.70, find how many of each type were sold.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq:: S + L = 30 mowers
\n" ); document.write( "Value EQ:: 249.99S + 329.99L = 8379.70
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination::
\n" ); document.write( "249.99S + 249.99L = 249.99*30
\n" ); document.write( "249.99S + 329.99L = 8379.70
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"L\":
\n" ); document.write( "80L = 880
\n" ); document.write( "L = 11 (# of large sold)
\n" ); document.write( "S = 30-L = 19 (# of small sold)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
