Answer provided by our tutors
let
s = the number of smaller mowers
l = the number of larger mowers
total sales of lawn mowers for the year were $8379.70
249.99s + 329.99l = 8379.70
the total number of mowers sold was 30
s + l = 30
by solving the system of equations
249.99s + 329.99l = 8379.70
s + l = 30
we find
s = 19 small mowers
l = 11 larger mowers
