Question

The pro shop at the Live Oak Country Club ordered two brands of golf balls. Par One balls cost $2.00 each and the Pro Sport balls cost $0.90 each. The total cost of Par One balls exceeded the total cost of the Pro Sport balls by $660.00. If an equal number of each brand was ordered, how many dozens of each brand were ordered?

Answer 1

Answer:

If an equal number of each brand was ordered, how many dozens of each brand were ordered?

• 50 dozens of each brand

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to determine the number of balls purchased, we must first determine the difference in price between them = $2 - $0.90 = $1.10

since the total difference in price was $660 and an equal number of balls were purchased, then the number of balls purchased = $660 / $1.10 = 600 balls

to determine the number of dozens purchased of each brand we just divide 600 by 12 = 50 dozens
