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.

Nola was selling tickets at the high school dance. At the end of the evening she picked up the cash box and noticed a dollar lyi
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The $1 belongs to the cash box

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Required

Determine if the $1 belongs to the cash box or not

Represent singles with s and couples with c.

From the attachment, we have:

s + c = 47 --- total attendance

5s + 4c =200 --- ticket sold

Solve for s and c.

Make s the subject in (1)

s = 47-c

Substitute 47 - c for s in (2)

5(47 - c) + 4c = 200

Open bracket

235 - 5c + 4c = 200

235 - c = 200

c = 235 - 200

c = 35

This means that the total individual which makes up the couples are 35. This is not possible because couples are in 2's and the total should be an even number.

<em>So, we can conclude that the $1 belongs to the cash box</em>
