Answer:
i. Cell phone cases
Airpods
ii. x + y = 20 .............. 1
10.98x + 27.98y = 355.60 .............. 2
iii. x = 12, and y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of sale = $355.60
Cost of Cell phone cases = $10.98
Cost of Airpods = $27.98
Number of phone accessories sold = 20
1. The variables to be considered in the question are:
i. Cell phone cases
ii. Airpods
2. Let the number of cell phone cases bought be represented by x, and that of airpods be represented by y.
Thus,
x + y = 20 .............. 1
10.98x + 27.98y = 355.60 .............. 2
From equation 1,
x = 20 -y
substitute the value of x in equation 2
10.98(20 - y) + 27.98y = 355.60
219.6 -10.98y + 27.98y = 355.60
17y = 136.60
y =
y = 8.0353
So that,
x = 20 -y
= 20 - 8.0353
x = 11.9647
Thus,
x = 12, and y = 8
