Everton college paid $1625 for an order of 45 calculators. The store paid $10 for each scientific calculator, The others all graphing calculatos cost the store $57 each. How many of each type were ordered?
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let # of scientific calculators be \"x\" ; value of these is 10x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "# of graphing calculators is \"45-x\" ; value is 57(45-x)= 2565 -57x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "value + value = 1625 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 2565-57x = 1625
\n" ); document.write( "-47x = -1240
\n" ); document.write( "x = 26.38..
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Comment: Something is wrong with your data. Since the value
\n" ); document.write( "of \"x\" is the number of scientific calculators, the value
\n" ); document.write( "of x should be a counting number, not a decimal.
\n" ); document.write( "Please check your data.
