Question 1049029: A company manufactures helmets and bats. They sell six times as many bats as helmets. If they make a profit of $3 per bat and $5 per helmet, how many bats and helmets were sold if the company earned $46,000???
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let h represent helmets. Then bats equal 6h. So:
3(6h)+5h=46000
23h=46000
h=2000
The company sold 2000 hats, and 12000 helmets. ☺☺☺
