Question

Nivyana and Ana are selling their apparel to earn money for a cruise. Knitted scarves are $50 each in Mittens are $25 per pair. they cannot make more than 30 scarves and mittens combined. I need to earn at least $1000 to pay for the Cruz and souvenirs

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of knitted scarves is 10

The number of knitted mitten is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The cost of each knitted scarves = $50

The cost of pairs of mittens = $25

Total number of scarves and mitten bought = 30

The total money invested to pay for items = $1000

Let The number of knitted scarves = k

Let The number of mitten = m

Now, According to question

The total money invested to pay for items = cost of each knitted scarves × number of knitted scarves + cost of pairs of mittens × number of mitten

i.e $1000 = $50 × k + $25 × m

Or, 40 = 2 k + m

i.e 2 k + m = 40           ........A

And

Total number of scarves and mitten bought =  number of knitted scarves +  number of mitten

i.e k + m = 30            ...........B

Now, solving eq A and eq B

So, (2 k + m ) - ( k + m ) = 40 - 30

Or, (2 k - k) + ( m - m) = 10

Or, k + 0 = 10

∴  k = 10

So,  The number of knitted scarves = k = 10

Put the value of k into eq B

∵ k + m = 30

So, m = 30 - k

or, m = 30 - 10

∴  m = 20

The number of knitted mitten = m = 20

Hence,  The number of knitted scarves is 10 and The number of knitted mitten is 20  . Answer
