Question

6. Gloves R’ Us was having a great day at their warehouse. Before lunch the store had sold a total of 82 pairs of gloves, and sales were brisk. At the end of the day, Dan, the owner, realized he just had the biggest day in Gloves R’ Us history with a total of 127 pairs of gloves sold. As he was heading back to restock for the next day, he asked his new employee, Mittsy, how many of each (cloth and rubber) they had sold. Poor Mittsy, being new, did not know that she was supposed to keep them separate. All she knew was that the rubber gloves were $8.95 each, the cloth gloves were $6.95 each, and the sales for the day totaled $1070.65. Help Mittsy keep her job by finding out how many of each type of glove was sold so Dan, the glove man, can restock.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

c is the number of cloth gloves sold.

r is the number of cloth gloves sold.

c + r =127

c = 127 - r

6.95c + 8.95r = 1070.65

6.95(127 - r) + 8.95r = 1070.65

882.65 + 2r = 1070.65

r = 94

c = 33
