Salim sell fax machines that come in standard and enhanced models. The standard model sells for $325 and the enhanced model sells for $385. If salim sold a total of 35 units and took in $12,575 how many of the enhanced models did he sell
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of standard model machines sold, x>=0
y = the number of enhanced model machines sold, y>=0
Salim sold a total of 35 units:
x + y = 35
Salim took $12,575:
325x + 385y = 12575
by solving the system of equations:
x + y = 35
325x + 385y = 12575
we find:
x = 15 standard model
y = 20 enhanced model
