how about...
let the number of scientific calculators be x
then the number of graphing calc's is 42-x
then 9x + 56(42-x) = 1553
9x + 2352 - 56x = 1553
-47x = -799
x = 17
42-x = 25
So they bought 17 scientific and 25 graphing types.
check : 17(9) + 25(56) = 1553
I still don't understand can someone help me?
the everton college store paid $1553
for an order of 42 calculators. the
store paid $9 for each scientific calculator. the others, all graphing calculators, cost the store $56 each. how many of each trupe of calculator was ordered?
the store ordered:
how many scientfic calculators?
graphing calculators?
