Question 601231: A sales person sold three times the number of refrigerators as washing machines. The refrigerators sold for $800 each and the washing machines sold for $300 each. If the amount of money collected for the sales was $45,900, how many refrigerators were sold? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! washing machines sold = x
Refrigerators sold = y =3x
300x + 800*(3x) =45900
300x+2400x=45900
2700x=45900
/2700
x=45900/2700
x= 17 numbers , the number of washing machines
refrigerators sold = 3*x = 3*17 = 51 numbers
