Answer:
Number of cheaper dresses sold is 35
Number of expensive dresses sold is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cost of cheaper dresses = $90
Cost of expensive dresses = $140
Total cost of the dresses = $5250
To Find:
Number of cheaper dress = ?
Number of expensive dress = ?
Solution:
Let
The number of cheaper dresses be x
The number of expensive dresses be y
(Number of cheaper dresses X cost of cheap dress) + (Number of Expensive dresses X cost of expensive dress) = $5250
= $5250
It is given that the 20 more of the cheaper dresses than the expensive dresses is sold
So,
number of cheaper dress = 20 + number of expensive dress
x = 20 + y---------------------------------------(1)







y = 15
Substituting y in (1)
x = 20 +15
x= 35
(x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6))=4x+12=212
x+x+x+x(2+4+6)=4x+12=212
4x (2+4+6)=4x+12=212
4x(6+6)=4x+12=212
12+4x=4x+12=212
<u>-12 -12 -12</u>
4x=4x=200
<u>/4 /4 /4</u>
<u>x=x=50</u>
<u>x=50</u>
28x + 44y = 964.40
21x + 33y = 723.30
Let's multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by -4
84x + 176y = 3857.6
-84x - 132y = -2893.2
Add the equations together.
0 + 44y = 964.4
Simplify
44y = 964.4
Divide both sides by 44
y = 964.4/44
Since we have the value of y, let's plug 964.4/44 into y for the first equation.
28x + 44(964.4/44) = 964.40
Simplify the left side
28x + 964.4 = 964.4
Subtract 964.4 from both sides
28x = 0
Divide both sides by 0
x = 0
In conclusion,
y = 964.4/44
x = 0
