Question 25250: A sporting goods store sells right-handed baseball gloves. In one month, 12 gloves were solf for a total of $561. Right-handed gloves cost $45 and left-handed gloves cost $52. How many of each were sold? Answer by Paul(988) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the right-handed glove be x
Let the left-handed golve be y
x+y=12
y=12-x
Cost of rigth haded glove = $45
left-handed cost =$52
45x+52y=561
Subsitute for y
45x+52(12-x)=561
45x-52x+624=561
-7x=-63
x=9
y=12-9
y=3
Hence about 9 right handed gloves were sold, and about 3 left-handed gloves were sold.
Paul.
