You are in the band room when a shipment of new trumpets and trombones arrives. Your
music teacher asks you to make sure the order is right. All the boxes are about the same
size, so you find the number of boxes in the shipment. There are 27 total boxes. The bill
shows the school paid $10.950. In the catalogue, the price of a new trumpet is $350 and
the price of a new trombone is $475.
