Problema Solution

Thirty students bought pennants for the football game. Plain pennants cost $4 each and fancy ones cost $8 each. If the total bill was $168, how many students bought the fancy pennants?

4(x) + 8(30-x) = 168

Solve for x

x = 18

 

Fancy penants: 30-18 = 12 students bought the fancy ones.
