Question

The manager of a music store ordered 20 new violins. She ordered some of two different models: the standard and the deluxe. Each standard violin costs $500, and each deluxe violin costs $800. If the manager spent exactly $11,500 on these violins, how many deluxe violins did she order?

Answer 1

5 deluxe violins and 15 standard violins

Explanation:

5 x 800 = 4,000

(That was for deluxe violins' price all together ^)

and...

15 x 500 = 7,500

(That was for standard violins' price all together)

4,000 + 7,500 = 11,500

∴ 5 deluxe violins and 15standard violins to fit the question rules!

Hope this helps :]

Answer 2

The Manager ordered 5 Deluxe Violins and 15 Standard Violins.

15 • 500 = 7,500
7,500 + 4,000 = 11,500
5 • 800 = 4,000
