<PRE><B>Question 346635</B>
With summer approaching, the number of air conditioners sold is expected to be double that of stoves and refrigerators combined. Stoves sell for $350, refrigerators for $425, and air conditioners for $525, and sales of $14,375 are expected.
Quantity EQuation: A = 2(S + R) 
----
If stoves and refrigerators sell in equal numbers, how many of each appliance should be stocked?
Quantity Eqution: S = R
---
Substitute to get A = 2(2S) = 4S

Value Equation: 350S + 425S+ 525(4S) = 14,375
----
2875S = 14375
--------------------
S = 5 (# of stoves to stock)
R = S = 5 (# of refrigerators to stock)
A = 4S = 20 (# of air conditioners to stock)
