Answer:
Ace Electronics buys 30, Hi-Fi Stereo buys 50, and CD World buys 115
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of items Ace Electronics buys
Let y represent the number of items Hi-Fi Stereo buys
Let z represent the number of items CD World buys
Since Ace Electronics, Hi-Fi Stereo, and CD World buy a total of 195 DVD players:
x + y + z = 195 (1)
Since CD World buys 35 more units than the other two stores combined:
z = x + y + 35 (2)
If you substitute z in equation 1 from equation 2:
x + y + (x + y + 35) = 195
2(x + y) = 195- 35
x + y = 80 (3)
Since z = x + y + 35:
z = 80 + 35
z = 115
Since CD World's cost is $160 per unit, Hi-Fi 's cost is $165 per unit and Ace Electronics's cost is $170 per unit and the total payment received is $31,750
170x + 165y + 160z = 31750 (Substitute x from equation 3 and z as 115)
170(80-y) + 165y + 160(115) = 31750
13600 - 170y + 165y + 18400 = 31750
32000 - 5y = 31750
5y = 250
y = 50
Since x + y = 80:
x + 50 = 80
x = 30
