Question

The Radison High School Marching Band sold solid-color gift wrap for $4 per roll and print gift wrap for $6 per roll. The total number of rolls sold was 480. Write an equation in standard form that represents the number of rolls of each kind of gift wrap were sold. Let x represent the solid-color gift wraps, and let y represent the print gift wraps.

Answer 1

4x+6y=480

Explanation:

Let x represent the solid-color gift wraps, and let y represent the print gift wraps.

The solid is 4 dollars. The cost of the solid is 4x

The print is 6 dollars. The cost of the print is 6y

4x+6y is the total cost

4x+6y=480
