A garden supply store sells two types of lawn mowers. Total sales of mowers for the year were $8379.70. The total number of mowers sold the 30. The small mower cost $249.99 and the large mower costs $329.99.

Now, to find the number of each type of mower sold.

Let the number of small mower be $x.$

And the number of large mower be $y.$

So, total number of mowers are:

$x+y=30$

$x=30-y\ \ \ ....(1)$

Now, the total sales of mowers are:

$249.99(x)+329.99(y)=8379.70$

Substituting the value of $x$ from equation (1) we get:

$249.99(30-y)+329.99y=8379.70$

$7499.7-249.99y+329.99y=8379.70$

$7499.7+80y=8379.70$

Subtracting both sides by 7499.7 we get:

$80y=880$

Dividing both sides by 80 we get:

$y=11.$

The number of large mower = 11.

Now, to get the number of small mowers we substitute the value of $y$ in equation ( 1 ):

$x=30-y\\x=30-11\\x=19.$

The number of small mower = 19.

Therefore, the number of small mowers are 19 and the large mowers are 11.
