Question 1200727
.
A store clerk sold 60 pairs of sneakers. The high-tops sold for $98.99 
and the low-tops sold for $129.99. If the receipts for the two types of sales 
totaled $6,404.40, how many of each type of sneaker were sold?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
x for $129.99 and (60-x) for $98.99.


The total money equation is

    129.99x + 98.99*(60-x) = 6404.40  dollars.


Express x and calculate

    (129.99-98.99)x = 6404.40 - 98.99*60

    x = {{{(6404.40 - 98.99*60)/(129.99-98.99)}}} = 15.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  15 for 129.99 and 60-15 = 45 for 98.99.

Solved.
