Question 59897: A garden supply store sells two types of lawn mowers. Total sales of mowers for the year were $8379.70. The total number of mowers sold was 30. The small mower cost $249.99. The large mower costs $329.99. Find the number sold of each type of mower. Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 249.99S+329.99L=8379.70
S+L=30 THEN
S=30-L SO
249.99(30-L)+329.99L=8379.70
7499.7-249.99L+329.99L=8379.70
80L=8379.70-7499.70
80L=880
L=880/80
L=11 LARGE HAWN MOWERS SOLD THEN
30-11=19 SMALL MOWERS SOLD
PROOF
249.99*19+329.99*11=8379.70
4749.81+3629.89=8279.70
8379.70=8379.70
