How many helmets were sold at the sale price? Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 60x+45(16-x)=16*30+375 or 60x+720-45x=480+375 or 15x=855-720 or 15x=135 or
x=9 helmets sold for $60 the 16-9=7 sold for $45 thus 60*9+45*7=855 or
540+315=855 or 855=855
