Question

Ron co. sold sweatshirts for $20 and baseball caps for $10. A total of 154 sweatshirts and baseball caps were sold for total sales of 2,860. How many of each did Ron co. sell?

Answer 1

S + c = 154....s = 154 - c
20s + 10c = 2860

20(154 - c) + 10c = 2860
3080 - 20c + 10c = 2860
-20c + 10c = 2860 - 3080
-10c = - 220
c = -220/-10
c = 22 <=== baseball caps

s + c = 154
s + 22 = 154
s = 154 - 22
s = 132 <==== sweatshirts
