The Jacksons and the Simpsons were competing in the final leg of the Amazing Race, which was 240240240 kilometers long. In their

race to the finish, the Jacksons immediately took off traveling at an average speed of vvv kilometers per hour. The Simpsons' start was delayed by an hour. When they eventually took off, they traveled at an average speed that was 404040 kilometers per hour faster than the Jacksons' speed. Sadly for them, that didn't help, and the Jacksons won. Write an inequality in terms of vvv that models the situation.

A sporting goods store sells right-handed and left-handed baseball gloves. In one month, 12 gloves were sold for a total revenue

stepladder [879]

Answer:

$9$ right-handed gloves and $3$ left-handed gloves were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In one month, $12$ gloves were sold for a total revenue of $\$561$ .

right-handed gloves cost $\$45$ and left-handed gloves cost $\$52$ .

To find: How much of each type of gloves did they sell?

Solution: Let they sell $x$ right-handed gloves, and $y$ left-handed gloves.

Now, cost of each right-handed gloves $=\$45$

cost of each left-handed gloves $=\$52$

Total revenue $=\$561$

So, we get

$45x+52y=561\:\:\:...(i)$

Also, in a month $12$ gloves were sold.

So, we get

$x+y=12\:\:\:...(ii)$

Now, from $(ii)$ we get, $x=12-y$ .

Putting $x=12-y$ in equation $(i)$ , we get

$45(12-y)+52y=561$

$\implies 540-45y+52y=561$

$\implies7y=561-540$

$\implies7y=21$

$\implies y=\frac{21}{7}$

$\implies y=3$

Now, putting $y=3$ in equation $(ii)$ , we get

$x+3=12$

$\implies x=12-3$

$\implies x=9$

Hence, $9$ right-handed gloves and $3$ left-handed gloves were sold.
