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.
Police is the correct answer. It could be any of these actually but the most reasonable is the number C.
