During the first millennium, Honduras was inhabited by the Maya. Columbus explored the country in 1502. Honduras, with four other Central American nations, declared its independence from Spain in 1821 to form a federation of Central American states. In 1838, Honduras left the federation and became independent.
Answer:
19 small and 11 large were sold
Explanation:
Systems of Equations
Gather your info:
249.99 (small mowers) are x
329.99 (large mowers) are y
249.99x + 329.99y = $8379.70 total money made
x + y = 30 total were sold
substitution method is what I used.
1. Substitute y-30 (because x = 30 - y when you subtract y from both sides) for x and get 249.99(30-y) + 329.99y = 8379.70.
2. Then distribute the 249.99 to the -y and 30 to get -249.99y + 7499.70 +329.99y = 8379.70
3. Then combine like terms to get 80y +7499.70 =8379.70.
4. Finally, subtract 7499.70 from both sides to get 80y=880.
5. Divide both sides by 80 to get y=11. So there were 11 large lawn mowers sold and that means the 19 left to get 30 total. So 19 have to be the small mowers.
