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 ball
s 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?
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
