You can put this solution on YOUR website! The bookstore sold 348 notebooks the first day of classes, some at $2.85 each and the rest at $3.95 each. The total amount taken in was $1154.60. How many of each kind of notebook were sold?
sol:
let x be one kind of note book
348 - x be the other kind of notebook
as given : (2.85 * x) + ((348 - x) * 3.95) = 1154.60
here solve for x you will get x = 200 & the other kind notebook as 148
