Question

A local charity held a crafts fair selling

donated, handmade items. Total
proceeds from the sale were $2,605. A
total of 89 items were sold, some at $20
each and the rest at $35 each.

Answer 1

34 sold for $20

55 sold for $35

Explanation:

20x+35y=2605

y=(98-x)

20x+35(89-x)=2605

Solve for x

20x+3115-35x=2605

20x-35x=2605-3115

-15x=-510

x=34
