Question 1050367: Medium-sized eggs are worth 42 cents per dozen and large-sized eggs are worth 47 cents per dozen. If Mr.Davis sells 12 dozen more of the large-sized eggs than the medium-sized eggs, and if he received a total of $35.01 for the eggs, how many of each did he sell? Answer by jorel555(1290) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the dozens of medium-sized eggs sold. Then large-size are n+12. So:
42n+47(n+12)=3501
89n=2937
n=33
Mr. Davis sold 33 dozen medium-sized eggs; and 45 dozen large-sized eggs. ☺☺☺☺
