Question

You sell instruments at a Caribbean music festival. You earn $326 by selling 12 sets of maracas, 6 sets of claves, and xx djembe drums. Write an equation you can use to find the number of djembe drums you sold.

Answer 1

Answer: An equation we can use to find the number of djembe drums you sold be

$12m+6c+dxx= 326$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of maracas be m

Let the price of claves be c

Let the price of djembe drums be d

Number of maracas = 12 sets

Number of clavas = 6 sets

Number of djembe drums be xx

Total earned amount = $326

According to question,

$12m+6c+dxx= 326$

Hence, an equation we can use to find the number of djembe drums you sold be

$12m+6c+dxx= 326$

Answer 2

First, it is important to know the prices of each of the instruments in order to determine the number of djembe drums you had sold. Since it is not given here. I will give a general equation where you just substitute the prices. It would be as follows:

326 = 12x + 6(y) + (xx)z

where x is the price for a set of maracas
            y is the price for a set of claves
           xx is number of djembe drums sold
           z is the prices for each djembe drum

Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
