Question 264611: Word Problem: Miss Day bought 52 Chrismas cards for $12.80. If sh paid $.20 apiece for part of them and $.30 apiece for the rest, how many of each kind did she buy? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .30X+.20(52-X)=12.80
.30X+10.4-.20X=12.80
.10X=12.80-10.4
.10X=2.40
X=2.40/.10
X=24 CARDS COST $.30.
52-24=28 CARDS COST $.20.
PROOF:
.30*24+.20*28=12.80
7.2+5.6=12.80
12.80=12.80
