one week a computer store sold a total of 36 computers and external hard drives. The revenue from these sales was $27,710. If the computers sold for $1180 per unit and hard drives for $125 per unit how many of each did the store sell?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of computers sold
y = the number of external hard drives sold
a computer store sold a total of 36 computers and external hard drives
x + y = 36
the revenue from these sales was $27,710
1180*x + 125*y = 27710
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 36
1180*x + 125*y = 27710
we find
x = 22 computers
y = 14 hard drives
the store sold 22 computers and 14 hard drives.
