Question

A women bought some large frames for $14 each and some small frames $5 each at a closeout sale. if she bought 24 frames for $183, find how many of each type she bought

Answer 1

Let the no of large frames bought be X

Then the no of smaller frames bought will be (17 - X )

Cost incurred = 14X + 5( 17 - X) = 130

14X + 85 - 5X = 130

9X = 45

X = 5 
 Answer 5 large frames and 12 small frames 

 Check

5X14 = 70
12X5 = 60
ADD = 130$
