Lady sells Kids hats for $4 adult hats for $7. She sold 120 hats, and collected $720. How many adult hats did she sell?

Answer provided by our tutors

let kids = x,  hats = y 

 

then, 

x+y = 120     x7

4x+7y = 720 

 

==> 7x+7y = 840

       4x+7y = 720

 

subtract these two, then 3x = 120 ==> x = 40 

 

y = 80 

 

(40 for kids, 80 for adults)
