Let the total number of sweatshirts sold be S and the total number of baseball caps sold be B
Total sales is the total number of sweatshirts sold times $20 plus the total number of baseball caps sold times 10. 
Equation 1: 20S + 10B = 2860
people bought 6 times as many sweatshirts as caps. Which means the number of sweatshirts sold (S) is 6 times caps sold(B) 
Equation 2:  S = 6B --- substitute S in equation 1 with 6B
=> 20(6B) + 10B = 2860
=> 120B + 10B = 2860
=> 130B = 2860 --- divide both side by 130 
=> B = 2860/130 
=> B = 22 --- is the number of caps sold. 
To find the number of sweatshirts sold we use equation 2
S = 6B --- but we know now B = 22
=> S = 6(22) 
=> S = 132 

therefore 132 sweatshirts sold and 22 baseball caps sold.

While hiking, Grace went up 647 meters above sea level. At the same time, her friend was scuba diving 293
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

940 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Above sea level is measured as positive and below sea level is measured as negative.

In order to find the distance between both we need to find the difference between their elevation and depression.

Distance between Grace and her friend

= 647 - (-293)

= 647 + 293

= 940 m
